Organizations in India are now fast turning to telemedicine as part of their employee health programs. The MFine Corporate product has seen strong growth in the last two months with more than 35 organizations partnering with the company to offer virtual OPD consultation benefits to their employees.The COVID-19 outbreak has pushed employers to take employee health seriously and many are offering various solutions that go beyond hospitalization benefits. Traditional health benefits in most corporations are health insurance with hospitalisation cover, annual health checks and Employee Assistance Plan, all of which are reactive and applicable only when someone falls sick and /or needs hospitalization. This is set to change as most people are now aware of the consequences of deprioritizing their own health and the cost attached to medical care.
