TimelyMD
TimelyMD, the leading virtual health and well-being solution in higher education, this week announced that it has earned URAC accreditation for Telehealth, becoming the first virtual care provider focused exclusively on college and university students to do so.
URAC is the independent leader in promoting health care quality by setting high standards for clinical practice, consumer protections, performance measurement, operations infrastructure and risk management, as well as the undisputed recognized leader in telehealth accreditation.
“By earning Telehealth Accreditation from URAC, TimelyMD operates on the forefront of health care delivery,” says URAC President and CEO Shawn Griffin in a statement. “Meeting URAC’s telehealth standards means TimelyMD provides more than a platform for transaction-based appointments. It demonstrates that TimelyMD leverages technologies to advance high-quality care that promotes clinical best practices, consumer protections and care continuity among patients and providers.”
Trusted to care for more than 1.5 million students at nearly 250 colleges and universities, TimelyMD allows campus partners to implement a hybrid model of care in collaboration with on-campus resources.
Free for students and available 24/7, TimelyCare offers a range of virtual medical and mental health care services, as well as care navigation, basic needs assistance and peer support. URAC accreditation for Telehealth in the Consumer-to-Provider and Provider-to-Consumer modules further differentiates TimelyCare as best-in-class.
“At TimelyMD, we wake up every day on a mission to improve the health and well-being of college students,” says Bob Booth, chief care officer at TimelyMD. “Achieving URAC accreditation is an honor, further distinguishing TimelyMD as the leader and pioneer in providing high-quality, on-demand care to students.”
“As telehealth becomes a more widespread option, TimelyMD distinguishes itself as an established, accredited organization committed to improving the health and well-being of the people it serves.” Griffin adds.
