Hello all,
I am the CEO of a program called Q Care Plus. Q Care Plus offers telemedicine services to patients through at-home testing and Community Based Organization partnerships. While we understand the hands on approach, providers have to adapt to meet patients where they are. Many times stigma still pays a major role in where and how patients access care. Through at-home testing and virtual doctor appointments, Q Care Plus is able to see patients who may have never stepped foot in a clinics door.
Through partnerships with Community Based Organizations (CBO), Q Care Plus is able to offer 100% free services to patients including at-home comprehensive labs, virtual doctor appointments and case management. Patients have direct access to their provider if they have any questions or need any additional resources. Care is delivered directly to the patient using video consults, phone consults and questionnaires. Medications are delivered directly to the patient's door through specialty pharmacy partners.
Q Care Plus's provider team are all AAHIV certified providers. If a patient does test positive or has an abnormal lab, the patient is linked into care at a primary care facility or at the CBO. If a patient test positive for an STI, Q Care Plus providers can provide care through prescription medication and/or link the patient directly to a provider who can administer treatment.
Q Care Plus's provider protocols are written by HIV providers with 20+ years experience in providing care for HIV patients. Protocols are reviewed and strict guidelines are followed between our provider team, pharmacy partners and CBO partners. If there are any issues or outliers, these are addressed directly by our Medical Director and Senior Medical Advisor.
When it comes time for follow-up visits, these visits are completed virtually. The patient doesn't need plan out their schedules 3 month in advance. Our patient navigation team works very closely with the patient to ensure they have coverage for their medication, have their labs complete and are comfortable with their prevention strategy.
In today's age we have to continue to improve the way we reach patients. By using technology, marketing and outreach, we are able to make an impact and increase access to care for many patients.
Q Care Plus also adheres by all Corporate Practice of Medicine laws for the states that they currently operate in. Provider licenses are on file and are all in excellent standing with all Boards of Medicine and Boards of Nursing.
I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone may have directly. My email is

Quinton Rasberry.

Subject: What are you seeing from the online PrEP programs like Nurx or Mistr?
I'm curious if others have much experience bridging care for PrEP patients who have used Nurx, Mistr or other competitors to get PrEP online with home testing. We have our own PrEP program (not with home testing) but sometimes our new patients come to us only after a clunky attempted start with those online services. Our pharmacy team has been a little puzzled as they often can't verify the online PrEP prescribers from these businesses.
