ConferMED, a Middletown-based eConsult telehealth company, completed its 250,000th specialty eConsult, a milestone reflecting its work connecting primary care providers with specialists in underserved communities.

Founded by practicing clinicians and built on more than 50 years of primary care expertise, ConferMED connects primary care providers with a nationwide network of nearly 300 specialists representing more than 70 specialties and subspecialties, including all major adult and pediatric specialties. Through its secure electronic consultation platform, most eConsult inquiries receive a response in less than one business day.

In most cases, these virtual consultations enable primary care providers to manage patient care without requiring an in-person specialist visit. By expanding access to specialty expertise, ConferMED's eConsult solution improves care quality, reduces healthcare costs, enhances the patient experience, and supports more efficient, collaborative clinical care.

Jeremy Sieffert, President of the Community EConsult Network (CeCN), ConferMed's management services organization, said, "Reaching 250,000 eConsults is a proud moment for our entire organization. It reflects the dedication of our specialists, the commitment of our primary care provider partners, and our shared mission to improve access to high-quality specialty care. As we celebrate this achievement, we're even more energized by the opportunity to help hundreds of thousands more patients receive the timely care they deserve."
