NGCOA is pleased to announce its newest Smart Buy Marketplace partner, Give Virtual Care (GVC). This partnership gives NGCOA members, their employees and their families access to virtual healthcare, including 10 percent off a monthly Give Virtual Care Group Membership, which includes Teladoc, Rx Valet, Expert 2nd Opinion and iCrisis Connection International mobile app services. If a golf course already offers traditional medical insurance to its staff, GVC’s online offerings can be used to enhance those services, especially during the pandemic. Visit
givevirtualcare.com/ngcoa for information and enrollment.
“Give Virtual Care is not insurance, but a robust Virtual Care Healthcare membership,” said Adam Packard, Director of National Strategic Partnerships for Give Virtual Care. “GVC group memberships were designed for organizations and their teams of hourly, part-time and 1099 employees, which makes it perfect for golf course personnel. It’s easier to run a business when employees are healthy, at work, and happy.”
“In today’s state of public health, people need options,” said Jay Karen, NGCOA CEO. “The suite of virtual medical services available in GVC’s partnership gives our members and their staff and families various ways to get affordable, quality care from the safety, comfort and convenience of their homes. This is the future of medical care, and we are pleased to facilitate this partnership.”
Give Virtual Care was created in part to assist employers in providing safe, secure medical assistance from home, and eliminates the barriers and restrictions created via conventional health insurance. Through this relationship, NGCOA members will get a discounted group membership including:
- Teladoc: Access 24/7/365 via phone, tablet, computer and App to free, unlimited on-demand general medical appointments and free consultations anywhere in the United States
