CirrusMD’s virtual care model provides employees with always-on access to a doctor who begins delivering care in less than 60 seconds. An easy chat-first interface, with in-app Spanish translation, ensures employees can reach a doctor anytime, 24/7, wherever they may be. CirrusMD doctors deliver whole-person primary, chronic, preventative, behavioral health and urgent / acute care, based on each patient’s needs.

Texicare aims to change the healthcare ecosystem by providing small businesses with innovative solutions that increase access to high quality healthcare. Texicare’s health plans are designed with the employee experience in mind — they are easy to use and focused on the holistic wellbeing of employees and their families.
“One of our primary goals in establishing Texicare’s health plans was providing around-the-clock virtual care for employees anywhere,” said Meredith Duncan, CEO of Texicare. “By partnering with CirrusMD, we’re providing employers with a virtual care solution that connects their employees to a qualified physician in less than 60 seconds. We want our members to use their plans. That means making care as easy to access as possible. With CirrusMD, the highest quality care is literally seconds away.”
“We’re proud to partner with Texicare, and share their vision of delivering more affordable and accessible care,” said Jamie Hall, President & CEO, CirrusMD. “Our team is hyper-focused on building the best virtual care solution, centered around the patient’s needs. This means everything we do supports the goal of meeting the patient on their terms and on their schedule, with a trusted doctor who is informed regarding the patient’s health history and available health resources. By making this scalable and affordable, it changes the way that groups, in this case small employers, can deliver care benefits for their members and employees.”
