The Kura MD Advantage
Founded by insurance and healthcare industry experts and built with the insight to address the needs of physicians as well as patients, Kura MD represents the new standard in telemedicine platforms for workers’ compensation and beyond.
Kura MD Telehealth Job Description
Kura MD is a nationwide telehealth provider delivering exceptional care to injured workers. With proprietary technology and channel partnerships we provide treatment throughout the after care continuum, from triage, to ongoing treatment planning, and finally to the delivery of an accurate impairment rating. Using our proprietary cloud-based audio/video technology platform injured workers can engage a medical coordinator and physician within minutes. Utilization of telehealth in worker’s compensation cases has been shown to reduce claims cost by 50% or more. The Kura MD platform compiles state required forms and then transmits those forms directly to the workers’ compensation adjuster for approval, thus improving efficiency and throughput for physicians. Kura MD provides the technology platform where the physician can provide comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based care while reducing overall time cost to both the physician and the patient.
