MVP Health Care and Galileo today announced a partnership that will give MVP Medicaid members in New York access to comprehensive virtual primary and specialty care. This first-of-its-kind offering gives digital health care access to a population that was previously regulated to see an in-person primary care physician.
MVP Medicaid members will now be able to speak to a doctor at any time of day or night, via text or video chat, using Galileo’s bilingual (Spanish-English) app. With Galileo’s on-demand care, no appointment is necessary, shrinking wait times to access care from weeks to minutes. For the first time, MVP’s Medicaid members can now select their virtual PCP through Galileo and can be connected to acute care, specialty care, chronic condition management, pharmacies, labs, and more 24/7, 365. Studies show that access to virtual health can have a positive impact on this population. Read more.
