Penn State Health announced this week that a subscription-based virtual care service, currently in beta with employers and educational institutions in central Pennsylvania, will expand access to patients statewide later in the year.
Through the new service, called COMMpanion, members can call or message two physicians, three nurse practitioners and a team of nurses and health navigators to get their questions answered and access health coaching and care navigation.
As part of program testing, Penn State Health has been offering COMMpanion services to students in the medical, graduate and physician’s assistant programs at Penn State College of Medicine and their dependents, reports Healthcare IT News.
Students are eligible for a reduced subscription price of $5 per month while coverage for a dependent spouse or significant other is available for $9.99 per month. Read more.
