The FirstCare Virtual Care powered by MDLive offers members access to board-certified and licensed providers and therapists 24/7 via their smartphones, tablets or desktop computers.
All FirstCare members will have access to the program Jan. 1, which is the final phase of a rollout that began in September 2018 for FistCare’s TRS-ActiveCare members only. The final phase will include commercial members as well as Medicare beneficiaries.
