'vHealth by Aetna' is set to give patients a very different experience when they see a doctor. Consultations are delivered virtually, through a new mobile app, where they can communicate with in-house primary doctors by video call, or by telephone call.
The doctors can prescribe, refer to specialists, and advise on medical concerns, paving the way for a fully connected care package, reducing the need for hospital visits, and allowing members to keep all their health care records in one place.
