Michigan Partnership bets on Virtual Visits for Uninsured

Accessibility and affordability are inextricably linked in America. If one does not have health insurance, one likely cannot afford healthcare -- a predicament that millions nationwide are in. As a result, the uninsured population is more likely to forgo or delay healthcare. Even amid the virtual care boom of recent years, which expanded care access for several medically underserved groups, the uninsured population remained less likely than their peers to use healthcare services.In Michigan, a new partnership between Priority Health, a nonprofit healthcare payer, and Curai Health, a virtual care provider, aims to address these care gaps by offering free virtual visits to the uninsured through the end of the year.
