Problem
Primary care clinicians often face long wait times, geographic barriers, and fragmented workflows when referring patients to specialty care, resulting in delayed diagnoses, higher costs, and incomplete treatment plans.
Solution
RubiconMD delivers a configurable, HIPAA‑compliant eConsult platform that lets primary care providers submit asynchronous specialty requests to a nationwide network of board‑certified clinicians. Specialists review patient data—including photos, videos, and lab results—and return evidence‑based recommendations within a median of 3.5 hours. The platform integrates with existing EHRs via standard APIs (e.g., FHIR) and offers customizable program designs to align with value‑based care goals. Clinicians receive concise consult reports, quality ratings for each specialist, and ongoing education through CME webinars and a learning center, enabling faster, more cost‑effective patient management while keeping the primary care team central to care coordination.
Target Audience
Primary care physicians and practice groups, health systems, accountable care organizations, community health centers, correctional health providers, and health plans seeking to expand specialty access without adding in‑person referrals.
