One of the
silver linings
of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the normalization and expansion of virtual care. Per a December 2021 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, amid the pandemic, virtual care visits increased to 52.7 million in 2020 from approximately 840,000 in 2019. Even after more than two years since the start of the pandemic, the COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition reports seven out of 10 people still expect to receive care virtually.
This trend has inspired UnitedHealthcare, the nation’s largest health insurer, to create new health plans that place virtual care at the center. "What is new in this space is health plans centered around virtual care, offered as a choice to employees in open enrollment," says Dr. Rhonda Randall, executive vice president and chief medical officer at UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual. "It’s important that we recognize the key role virtual care plays in patients’ health care strategies."
As Randall explains, the scope of virtual care has expanded beyond an urgent-care alternative—it’s now a robust part of medical, behavioral, and even dental care. Workplace health plan offerings are changing accordingly: Per UnitedHealthcare, six in 10 employers currently offer plans that provide access to virtual care.
As a part of UnitedHealthcare’s new virtual-first plans, patients get live navigation support to help them determine which care option is best and to provide access to in-person care if needed. "We have invested in a true connectedness between virtual care and brick-and-mortar providers," Randall says, "so it’s a seamless experience for patients."
And there are benefits: According to Randall, doctors find that virtual appointments promote continuity of care, particularly for those managing chronic conditions. "A primary care provider might want to see patients in person once or twice a year—but they can have virtual check-ins in between," she says.
Virtual care has also helped conquer a major hurdle to behavioral health care: access. "There are 10 times more licensed mental health care professionals per 100,000 people in Massachusetts than in Mississippi," Randall cites. "If we increase that access from urban to rural areas," she says, "and bring that care to broader populations, that will really help."
With more and more people choosing virtual-first health plans, it’s becoming clear that virtual care is a crucial part of addressing evolving health care needs. "Virtual-first plans will become more common as employers realize they can help cut costs, doctors see their effectiveness, and patients enjoy their convenience," Randall says. "They are a revolutionary component of our health system, with an important role to play in the future of health care."
According to new health plans, staff of a U.S. company may________.
选项
A、center around virtual care in their jobs
B、choose virtual care insurance as an option
C、receive a training program on virtual care
D、be evaluated by whether to choose virtual care
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干中的new health plans和staff可定位至第二段。第二句说What is new in this space is health plans centered around virtual care, offered as a choice to employees in open enrollment (这个领域的创新之处在于以虚拟医疗为中心的健康计划,为在开放登记时段计划变更医保的员工提供新的选项)。题干中的staff与原文中的employees是同义词,B项中的choose…as an option对应原文中的offered as a choice。该健康计划以虚拟医疗为主,成了员工在开放登记时段变更医保内容的一个选项,也就是说,员工新增了一个医保的选项,故B项正确。A项属于答非所问,这个领域的新内容以虚拟医疗为中心,而不是员工以其为中心,故排除。C项属于无中生有,文中未提到培训,故排除。D项属于无中生有,原文未提到员工会根据是否选择虚拟医疗来接受评估,故排除。故本题答案为B项。
