Back in 2017, Merit began utilizing our Telemedicine platform to connect injured workers living in rural areas with trusted providers throughout the Midwest. Together with physicians, physical therapists, and software developers we created the Merit Telemedicine Platform.
With cameras in Western and Central NE, the injured worker is able to have two examinees, a physical therapist in the room and physician on the screen, leading to a comprehensive exam. Since then, we have expanded telemedicine to include impairment ratings. We are currently expanding our telemedicine and look forward to growing throughout Nebraska.
