How We’re Delivering Care
+ Patients are screened for Influenza-like Illness (ILI) at booking.
+ Every ILI encounter starts with video.
+ ILI encounters that require testing or in-person care escalate to
Remedy’s drive-through test site or open-air clinic.+ House calls continue to be available in Austin & DFW for non-ILI
encounters who do not represent a high risk of COVID-19 exposure.
+ Focus: Maximize provider and member safety.
