Telehealth – Healthcare That Moves at the Speed of Life

SBMA Telehealth plans offer fast, flexible access to care without the delays, copays, or network restrictions of traditional office visits.

With 24/7 virtual access to doctors and mental health professionals, Telehealth is a cost-effective way to support your workforce and reduce unnecessary claims.

Telehealth Overview

Telehealth services connect employees with licensed healthcare providers by phone or video, anytime, from anywhere. For employers, it’s an efficient way to offer immediate, affordable care with minimal disruption. For employees, it means fewer missed shifts, lower out-of-pocket costs, and faster answers when they need them most.

Core Telehealth Services Include:

  • General medicine consultations for common illnesses (cold, flu, infections, allergies)
  • Mental health support, including therapy and counseling
  • Prescription refills and care plans for routine conditions
  • Coordination with in-person care when needed
  • 24/7/365 access from mobile, desktop, or phone

Common Use Cases for Telehealth

From everyday care to urgent questions, Telehealth fills the gap between “not serious enough for the ER” and “too busy to get in.” Employees stay healthier and more productive—with fewer costly claims and disruptions.

When Telehealth Makes Sense:

  • Non-emergency medical issues like sinus infections, sore throats, or minor skin irritations
  • Mental health concerns including anxiety, stress, or short-term counseling needs
  • After-hours or weekend care without urgent care costs or wait times
  • Managing chronic conditions with ongoing virtual check-ins
  • Prescription renewals without scheduling in-person appointments
