Step 3
PCP provides the patient with a higher quality care plan
- About 70% of the time, this removes the need for referral or services
- If the recommendation is an in-person specialist visit, this often improves the quality of the referral.

eConsults are so valuable because they reach even the most remote patients. Patients sometimes put off receiving treatment since there aren’t enough dermatologists in some parts of the US, but thanks to eConsults, those patients can receive virtual specialty care more conveniently while saving money and time.

Specialist Network FAQ
What is the commitment required of a RubiconMD Specialist?
What is the process of responding to an eConsult?
What is the liability and malpractice coverage for specialists?
The primary care provider (PCP) retains sole responsibility for the patient’s care and all decision-making regarding the patient’s treatment. As such, they are expected to exercise independent medical judgment to decide what to do with the information provided by our specialists.
All contracted specialists are covered under RubiconMD’s malpractice policy and are not required to purchase additional insurance to respond to eConsults. Make an impact with us! Join our team here.
