Call a Doctor Plus for MCAA members

Words: Todd FredrickHealthcare is a complex issue for both your company and employees. It affects all of us in different ways. The Mason Contractors Association of America’s (MCAA) goal as an organization is to provide you with the best healthcare options possible, featuring cost effectiveness and cost containment. To that end we are pleased to announce the addition of a new Telehealth program that will provide you, your employees and their family members access to care anywhere and on their schedule.

This new program is called Call a Doctor Plus (CADR+) and will be available to your company and employees starting January 2016.

With CADR+ you get unlimited, 24/7 access to a network of US Board Certified doctors by phone, video or mobile app. These doctors are available in less than 14 minutes and can diagnose common medical conditions and even prescribe medication, if needed. And there is no cost for you to consult with a doctor, so use it as much as you need to! Plus, get discounts on a wide range of everyday healthcare goods and services including vision, dental, labs, prescriptions and more!

Please visit www.masoncontractors.org/call-a-doctor for more information.

Again, we are very excited about this new program and our guess is that after reading what the program offers, you will see it as a great addition for your organization!
