Affordable Telemedicine
A telemedicine practice that saves employers and patients money. Although the practice will see patients with acute conditions, greater savings are possible for patients with chronic diseases who need ongoing monitoring.
Benefits of HCR Telemedicine
We Serve Patients:
We believe telemedicine is most effective for patients with symptoms that are not life-threatening. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have highlighted multiple studies supporting the value of online interventions in managing chronic disease.

Who Gains the Most from HCR
Uninsured
Our transparent pricing and low-cost medication/lab testing help you keep healthcare finances under your control.
Chronic Conditions
Follow-up appointments through HCR are as much as 3X cheaper than traditional providers—perfect for those with chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or depression.
Medicare or Sana Health
If you have Medicare (Illinois only) or Sana Health Insurance, HCR is right for you. Our telemedicine solution qualifies for Health Savings Accounts, follows Medicare rates, and is built for those needing a higher-value way to manage their conditions.
Privacy Concerns
or Those whose needs are not being met by traditional health care providers.
We are happy to provide transcripts, work with interpreters/family members, and use a fully ADA-compliant website. Plus, we can document outside of the medical record upon request, ensuring your information doesn’t fall into the hands of health data brokers.

What Makes Us Different
Fixed Pricing
$70 for new visits, $35 for follow-up video visits (each time), $25 for follow-up audio visits (each time), and $15 for follow-up chats (starting at four exchanges up to 90 days).
No Insurance Needed
Since we don’t deal with the “BUCAs” (Blue Cross and Blue Shield, UnitedHealth Group, Cigna, and Aetna), we don’t need back-office staff to manage prior authorizations or clinical audits. We pass these savings on to you. We do accept Medicare or Sana Health Insurance.
Transcripts of Appointments
Interested patients can receive a transcript of the interaction after a visit to help keep track of what was discussed. We will also email them a copy of their patient instructions if they do not want to connect to the practice portal.
Visit Details
The practice can either:
- Share the visit details with other members of the patient’s care team.
Full interoperability with most health information exchanges across the country. - Keep the records outside the traditional health care system to prevent third parties from linking the patient’s health information in claims or pharmacy queries.
We can document the visit outside of an electronic medical record, call pharmacies for prescriptions, and have patients obtain laboratory testing without insurance.
Joinable Calls for Caregivers
Caregivers and/or translators can join all video calls to better understand what happens during a visit.
