DermOnDemand is Transforming the Landscape of Employer-Based Dermatology Care

By: Dr. Ross Kopelman (Stern ‘12, Tandon ‘15)

As dermatology stands on the precipice of a transformative era, it’s clear that the future is centered around making care more accessible and affordable than ever before. I’m excited to lead the charge as the founder of DermOnDemand. Together with my co-founder and sister, a dermatologist Dr. Hannah Kopelman, we’re passionately working to redefine dermatological care. Serving as our Chief Medical Officer, Hannah’s expertise has been pivotal in guiding and crystallizing our shared vision.

 

Together, we are driven by the desire to make high-quality dermatological care universally accessible in today’s digital age. DermOnDemand stands as a testament to this vision. We are at the forefront of online dermatological consultations, and we’re excited to unveil the next phase of our journey: forming partnerships with self-insured employers. This significant step further solidifies our ambition to position DermOnDemand as the foremost online dermatology provider for employers.

Why Self-Insured Employers?

Companies that are self-insured undertake the financial risk of their employees’ healthcare benefits, providing them with unparalleled flexibility to offer bespoke health solutions. This inherent flexibility makes them perfect candidates for forming synergies with groundbreaking platforms such as DermOnDemand. Working closely with these employers, we’re confident in DermOnDemand’s capability to tailor services that meet the unique needs of each company, ensuring specialized care, efficient processes, and a superior patient experience.

Benefits for Employers and Their Employees

  • Immediate Access to Quality Care: The inconvenience of lengthy waiting times for dermatology appointments is now a thing of the past. At DermOnDemand, employees have the privilege of instant consultations with top-tier dermatologists, guaranteeing timely diagnoses and treatments.

  • Cost Savings: Both direct and indirect costs see substantial reductions. While direct costs like treatments are effectively managed, indirect costs stemming from reduced productivity or absenteeism due to untreated skin issues are significantly minimized.

  • Increased Productivity: By addressing skin concerns swiftly, employees can regain their focus and bolster their efficiency at work.

  • Enhanced Employee Benefits: Incorporating state-of-the-art health benefits like those offered by DermOnDemand can enhance a company’s allure to potential talent.

The Road Ahead

Our pilot initiatives signify just the beginning of our ambitious journey. Both Hannah and I envision DermOnDemand as the go-to platform for companies, regardless of their size. With continuous technological advancements and the integration of AI, we’re steadfast in our pursuit to fortify DermOnDemand’s reputation as the paramount online dermatology platform.

Our collaboration with self-insured employers goes beyond strategic positioning. It’s a deep-rooted commitment to delivering comprehensive and accessible dermatological care to countless Americans who lack both easy and affordable access. As we embark on this transformative phase with DermOnDemand, we warmly invite visionary employers to join us in this health revolution, advocating for a future where the integrity of skin health is upheld and never compromised.
