98point6, an on-demand telemedicine provider announced the launch of its new Client Portal allowing businesses access to 24/7 access to board-certified physicians. With the Client Portal app employees can get diagnosis and treatment including consultations with physicians.

The employer-sponsored plan offers access to either low or no cost to employees and their dependents aged above 18 years of age. It also provides quick medical intervention, reducing downstream costs and improving employee satisfaction.

With Client Portal, companies with fewer than 5,000 members can offer 98point6 to employees in as little as a day. This will come in handy for employees looking for speedy medical advice and treatment in the era of COVID-19. The new offering comes in response to employers experiencing, on average, eight times higher utilization of the 98point6 service than with their previous, traditional telemedicine solutions.

Not too long ago, many people regarded WeWork as another “unicorn” success story like Google, Facebook and Instagram. But the company’s failed effort to go public and related departure of CEO, Adam Neumann, resulted instead in a historic business implosion.

He aspired to “elevate the world’s consciousness, become the first trillionaire and be the first President of the World!” In fact, Reeves started reporti
