IPMI provider Generali Global Health (GGH) in October 2018 enhanced its Global Choice iPMI product by adding the My Digital Doctor app. Using a smart phone or tablet, beneficiaries now can schedule video and phone consultations with a global, multilingual team of doctors 24 hours a day.

Through the new app, GGH members are able to discuss all aspects of primary care; manage ongoing conditions with a doctor and review treatment plans and test results; get guidance on general health and well-being; and get prescriptions and referral letters. The app is accessible free of charge and premiums are not affected.

The service is provided through global healthcare services company Advance Medical, a division of Teladoc Health.

The Global Choice iPMI product also includes an employee assistance program (EAP), a Second Medical Opinion service, genomic profiling tests for cancer; and the recently-launched Bria wellness app that helps members identify health risks and take preventative steps and offers access to health advice.
