Do you have a primary care doctor?

In a world long before WFH became part of our vocabulary, the yearly physical was well built into the American family calendar. But, somewhere along the way we have increasingly relied on emergency health solutions. 

Waiting until your health needs become emergency room level only results in unfortunate health and financial outcomes. The purpose of a physical is to catch any health concerns early before they genuinely become concerns. But a recent study from membership-based primary care practice, One Medical found that while 89% of employees agree it is essential to receive regular primary care, only 1 in 5 actually have a primary care provider. 

One Medical survey participant cited difficulty navigating the healthcare system, navigating care costs, and making appointments as the top reasons for putting off primary care. Unfortunately, these obstacles ring true for many navigating healthcare today. Healthy Business Group heard these woes and created gethealthee.com in response. Do you need help navigating the healthcare system? Then don’t because, with gethealthee.com, there are no endless navigation options, just one website for all your benefit needs; truly a one-stop-shop. Have difficulty finding doctors and handling medical bills?

A primary care physician can help prevent diseases, assist in managing chronic conditions, and improve overall health. However, no one needs to be convinced that having a primary care doctor is essential. Instead, we need to communicate that there are tools to make getting to the doctor easier, like gethealthee.com.
