Pager plans to partner with NewYork Presbyterian’s Weill Cornell Medicine to offer telemedicine virtual visits because the house-call model has proved expensive and difficult to scale from city to city, according to FastCompany.
Andrew Cholmer, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Pager, told FastCompany the startup also has partnerships with major insurers, such as United, Aetna and Cigna, in the works. This connection would enable the company to generate more reimbursement than it currently gets for house calls and telemedicine alone.
