eConsults for Patients
High-quality specialty healthcare, delivered by your primary care team.
Convenient access to insights from top specialists
RubiconMD is a platform that connects primary care clinicians to 140+ specialties and sub-specialties.
If your doctor or nurse has questions about your condition, they may submit an eConsult to a virtual specialist.
What is an eConsult?
An eConsult is a secure online conversation between two clinicians. Your care team may use an eConsult to inform your care plan.
STEP 1
The clinician submits a question in the RubiconMD platform
STEP 2
RubiconMD specialist responds within 1-2 hours and answers any follow-up questions
STEP 3
The clinician uses eConsult insights to inform the patient care plan, treat in place, and avoids an unnecessary referral
Your doctor and a specialist may discuss things like:
- Appropriate tests or next steps
- Your current medications and options
- Latest treatment options for your condition
- Interpret a lab or diagnostic result
- Resources to manage your care
- If an in-person visit to a specialist is required
What’s the benefit to patients?
Zero cost.
Your primary care team will get expert advice from a top specialist, informing your care plan, at no cost to you.
Save time.
Your doctor may be able to treat you within primary care, without a referral needed. Or, if you do need to see a specialist, you will have an interim care plan beforehand.
