New Program, Headed by Dr. Kristin Collins,
Will Utilize Combination of Telehealth Services and On-Site Nursing
Support to Deliver Comprehensive Care
DocGo Inc. (Nasdaq: DCGO) (“DocGo” or the “Company”), a leading
provider of technology-enabled mobile health services, today
announced the launch of the Well Child Visits program in
partnership with an insurance provider serving the New York City
metropolitan area. Through DocGo’s affiliated clinical practice
group, this program will increase pediatric preventative care,
strengthen childhood immunization rates and promote health equity
by partnering with insurance providers to identify under-engaged
patients and provide them with comprehensive at-home wellness
visits and/or routine vaccinations. The program is expected to
expand across New York State as well as California in the coming
months.
Under the leadership of Dr. Kristin Collins, a Stanford-trained
pediatrician with over fifteen years of experience caring for
children of all ages and Pediatric Medical Director of DocGo’s
affiliated clinical practice group, the Well Child Visits program
will bring essential preventative care directly to patients' homes
to overcome barriers that have traditionally made it challenging
for busy parents to get their children to the doctor’s office for
general wellness screenings and routine vaccinations.
Studies show that children miss between 30% to 50% of well-child
visits, despite the important benefits associated with attending
these visits, such as reduced emergency department use and fewer
hospitalizations. Common reasons for missed well visits include
lack of transportation, difficulty taking time off from work, and
lack of childcare.
This program utilizes an innovative combination of telehealth
services and on-site nursing support to deliver convenient and
comprehensive preventive pediatric care. Important healthcare
information gleaned from Well Child Visits will be shared with the
patient’s primary care provider or pediatrician to inform and
enhance ongoing care plans, ensuring continuity and comprehensive
management of the child's health needs.
"At DocGo, we are committed to leveraging our advanced
technology and mobile health expertise to develop innovative
programs that address pain points in the healthcare industry,” said
Lee Bienstock, CEO of DocGo. “The Well Child Visits program
exemplifies our mission to deliver quality healthcare to
under-engaged populations. By bringing essential preventative care
directly to patients' homes, we are breaking down barriers to
access and helping ensure that all children have the opportunity to
thrive."
"Preventative healthcare is crucial for the healthy development
of children. By bringing these services directly to patients'
homes, we are closing significant gaps in care and making it easier
for families to access the essential health services their children
need,” said Dr. Kristin Collins. “This program will provide a vital
link between patients and their primary care providers, helping to
ensure continuity of care and better health outcomes for our
youngest patients at the most crucial stages of their
development."
Insurance companies will play a pivotal role in this initiative
by identifying patients with care gaps and sharing this information
with DocGo. DocGo’s outreach teams will then contact these patients
to arrange at-home wellness visits.
The Well Child Visits program marks a significant step forward
in ensuring that children receive the preventative care they need,
particularly those who may have been previously overlooked. DocGo
is excited to partner with healthcare plans and leverage telehealth
technology combined with on-site clinical care to make healthcare
more accessible and equitable for all.
