CB2 Insights (CSE:CBII; OTCQB: CBIIF) (“CB2” or the “Company”),
announces today, that its Skylight Health Direct Primary Care
service will now be available for patients in Florida who have lost
healthcare coverage due to job losses during the COVID-19
Pandemic.
- Skylight Health (“Skylight”) is a Direct Primary Care (“DPC”)
that provides unlimited telehealth access for patients seeking
urgent and primary care services starting at $16.50 a month
($199/year);
- Florida is among 5 US States that have seen a dramatic increase
in over 5.4 million American uninsured-laid-off workers since the
Pandemic started in February 2020; nearly 40% higher than the
record set during the recession of 2008/2009;
- Florida broke the national record for a state’s largest
single-day increase in positive cases;
- Skylight’s DPC model will aim to fill the gap in care for
millions of Florida residents who have lost access to healthcare
services.
Skylight DPC is an open membership platform for any American
seeking access to affordable and integrative healthcare. Patients
can subscribe easily by visiting https://skylight.health and
signing up for an annual membership. Alternatively, patients can
call 844-644-8880 to speak with a live patient care representative
who can assist them with their registration. Patients of the DPC
model get access to same or next day care from licensed healthcare
providers across a variety of acute, chronic and mental health
services including urgent and primary care. The program is offered
via virtual telemedicine making it easy for patients to connect
from the convenience of their home, minimizing exposure and risk to
contracting the virus. In addition to Florida, the program is
currently live in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and
Massachusetts.
A July 2020 study released by Families USA identifies that 25%
of nonelderly adults in Florida are uninsured. Further, increases
in uninsured rates are happening during the country’s worst public
health crisis in more than a century. There has not been any
COVID-19 legislation signed into law which attempts at restoring or
preserving comprehensive health insurance. Florida is one of the 13
states that did not expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act,
which is the public health insurance program that provides coverage
to low-income families or individuals. A link to the study can be
found here.
“We are trying to solve a crucial need in what seems to be a
growing concern that increased job loss will lead to more
individuals and families losing access to insured healthcare. The
costs in some cases for individuals can be upwards of $11,000 a
year for an individual and higher for families. Lack of affordable
access can cause a ripple effect that may eventually lead to
overburdening the hospitals and the health system. Establishing the
infrastructure over the last few months for our DPC model at
affordable price points, allows us to play a part in closing this
gap. In an ideal world everyone has access to care. We are doing
our part to help,” said Prad Sekar, CEO, CB2 Insights.
Skylight DPC will be effective immediately for residents in
Florida. Patients looking to register or learn more can visit
https://skylight.health or call 844-644-8880 to speak with a live
patient care representative.
Skylight Health is a Direct Primary Care service and is not a
health plan. Members are encouraged to obtain a low cost
high-deductible health plan or other coverage in the case of
emergencies or large medical expenses.
