A Rochester, New York-based firm specializing in at-home or workplace ultrasound and X-ray imaging is expanding into its 22nd state, leaders announced Tuesday.
Founded in 2016, EZaccessMD calls itself the “first and only” provider to offer both teleconsults with board-certified physicians and in-person diagnostics. The group recently inked a partnership with Accurate Imaging in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, allowing for expansion across the Badger State.
EZaccessMD partners with health plan carriers to help blunt healthcare costs, offering more than 80% of urgent care services and dispatching technologists and imaging equipment within two hours.
“Accessibility to quality health services continues to be a critical barrier for communities nationwide, amplified only further by COVID-19," company President Lois Irwin said Sept. 28.
EZaccessMD offers its services as either an enhancement for existing health insurance plans or standalone perk at small companies where traditional care options are limited. Employers typically pay only for what employees and their families use, starting at $4 per individual each month. Consumers can access their phone or video consults 24/7, while mobile diagnostics are offered between 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Earlier this year, EZaccessMD also announced its expansion into Indiana and Michigan.
