Partnership to Offer Access to Virtual Care and Pharmacy Services to REALTORS®
AUSTIN, TX – NormanMD, one of the largest urgent care telemedicine providers in Central Texas, and the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR), a trade association serving over 18,000 real estate professionals across 18 counties in Central Texas, announced today a new partnership enabling ABoR members to receive discounted subscriptions on 24/7 virtual urgent care visits powered by Austin Regional Clinic (ARC).
NormanMD provides access to family doctors and pediatricians for diagnosis, treatment, or advice in minutes, using a phone, tablet, or computer and with no copay or fee. This partnership enhances ABoR's membership benefits for both members and families by giving them access to an affordable healthcare solution with trusted providers.
This new partnership allows ABoR members anywhere in Texas to have 24/7/365 telemedicine access to Central Texas doctors, and depending on where they live, take advantage of home-delivery of prescription medications from Capsule pharmacy. This gives patients the convenience of accessing a wide range of healthcare services right from the comfort of their own homes – or for REALTORS®, from anywhere in the field.
"The rapid speed and complexity of today's housing market makes it more important than ever for real estate professionals to prioritize their health and personal well-being," Cord Shiflet, ABoR president said. "Through ABoR's new partnership with Austin Regional Clinic and NormanMD, Central Texas REALTORS® can get fast, affordable access to care without losing time in the field."
"NormanMD meets Central Texans exactly where they are, delivering high-quality convenient care while also reducing the total cost of care for the members, their families and their employer. We believe NormanMD's nexus of quality, convenience, and our current pricing places NormanMD among the best healthcare values available today," Jacob Childers, M.D., NormanMD Medical Director said.
