American Well announced the availability of the Online Healthcare Marketplace, a platform that enables health plans to offer online care services to consumers and physicians.

The Online Healthcare Marketplace allows credentialed healthcare providers to make themselves available to consumers for online and phone consultations at their discretion, any time, from any location, and for as long as they choose. Using a browser or a phone, consumers can gain immediate, live access to physicians in multiple specialties without leaving their homes or scheduling appointments. The ensuing interaction allows physicians to review relevant patient information, speak with and see the patients, prescribe medication and suggest follow-up care. This on-demand conversation between consumers and physicians is under advisement of the patient’s care coordinator, namely their primary care physician.
