Rick Ross says he’s been exactly where millions of Americans are today — avoiding doctor visits due to lack of healthcare — which is why he’s backing an affordable new option.
Da Boss and healthcare vet/entrepreneur Tommy Duncan joined us on “TMZ Live” to discuss their telehealth app, Jetdoc … and reveal why the music mogul jumped into healthcare. Rick told us part of it is personal, and part of is addressing what’s become an obvious need.
As you know, the COVID-19 pandemic forced clinics/hospitals to pivot and rethink how doctors can treat and diagnose patients during lockdowns. As a result, nearly 25 million people used a telehealth service between March and October, and the vast majority of them were satisfied with the service.
Enter Rick Ross and Tommy, who’ve both coped with serious health issues — Rick’s battled seizures, and Tommy suffered a stroke at just 30 years old. Still, the rapper says he knows all too well that people who don’t have access to health insurance avoid getting medical care … and he wants to change that.
The duo told us Jetdoc, available for download on Google Play and the App Store, is incredibly reasonable at just $20 for the first virtual urgent care visit or $10 a month for an unlimited membership.
For now, it’s only available in Florida, but it’s slated to expand to other states in 2021. Rick and Tommy say access to a doctor isn’t the only benefit for users. In fact, you gotta see why Rick thinks this really could be a holiday gift that keeps on giving.
