State employees can access telehealth services, including online questionnaires, phone calls, video visits and text messaging with MUSC providers. The telehealth experts are available to patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and cover more than 40 health issues.
An estimated 500,000 PEBA members and their covered dependents are now eligible for the telehealth benefit.
“This new benefit for our state employees and their families brings the doctor straight to your phone, instead of them having to spend the time and money they may not have,” Gov. Henry McMaster said in the news release. “This is another innovative tool to keep people healthy and address health issues earlier than they might otherwise.”
