Nationally, ERs are overcrowded, often with non-emergency health care problems.  That means wait times for patients seeking care is longer than it should be.  The seriously ill patient must typically drive to the ER, endure long waiting times surrounded by other very sick people, and then have to drive back home after spending hours in the ER.

By offering UCM's Virtual ER to employees, MarineMax minimizes employee stress, improves their access to care, and ultimately reduces cost for all while providing excellence in care.  That's because the emergency medicine providers can triage or treat any and all conditions and patients virtually, as well as order tests, call in prescriptions, and refer patients to specialists, all while the patient remains in comfort at home.  The Virtual ER team will even follow up with the patient the following day.   Medical records are stored in the cloud and sent along to the patient's regular physician as well.   A patient treated without having to visit an ER saves on average $644 per instance for the company's health care plan and costs the employee nothing.
