Saskatchewan Blue Cross says, starting today, group plan sponsors can enhance their health and wellbeing support for their employees by adding Online Doctors to their group benefits plan. It’s a virtual healthcare product, connected by technology company Maple, which is said to deliver an industry leading virtual care platform. Plan members and their families will be able to access a Canadian-licensed general practitioner in under five minutes anytime, anywhere.

Through Online Doctors, plan members can access care for acute, chronic and mental health, as well as store and share medical records, on a mobile application.

Megan Douglas, VP Customer Relations and External Affairs says, “The demand for virtual care continues to grow, and it’s essential that employers have options available to help remove barriers to exceptional care for their employees through their health benefit plans.”
