For HMOs

Telemedicine for Your Enrollees

Plug your enrollees into Lonia's network of MDCN-verified doctors and specialists — video consultations, prescriptions, and medication delivery. Send us your enrollee list and pick the reimbursement model that fits: capitation or fee-for-service. We handle eligibility, claims, and provider payouts.

Why HMOs Partner With Lonia

Extend your coverage into telemedicine without building the infrastructure

A ready provider network

Skip the panel-building. Your enrollees reach MDCN-verified doctors and specialists already on Lonia — nationwide, no new accreditation needed.

Real-time eligibility

We verify each enrollee against your list at booking — no eligibility calls, no after-the-fact disputes over who was covered.

Your model, your rates

Capitation or fee-for-service, set per contract. You define the GP / specialist / therapy rates; we enforce them automatically.

Care without travel

Cut avoidable in-person visits. Enrollees consult from anywhere — lowering your cost per encounter and widening reach.

24/7 access

Doctors set their own hours, including round-the-clock. Your enrollees aren't limited to clinic opening times.

Clean reconciliation

Every covered consult is a logged claim. Monthly invoices and provider payouts are handled by Lonia — one statement, full audit trail.

How the Partnership Works

From contract to claims, in four steps

1

Agree Terms

We set your reimbursement model (capitation or fee-for-service) and a per-tier rate schedule for GP, specialist, and therapy consultations.

2

Send Your Enrollees

Hand us your enrollee list. We provision tagged accounts and verify eligibility in real time at the point of booking.

3

Enrollees Get Care

Your enrollees book MDCN-verified doctors via the portal, app, or WhatsApp. Covered visits are free (capitation) or a small copay — detected automatically.

4

We Reconcile

Every consult is logged as a claim. We invoice you monthly and pay providers their agreed rate — you get one clean statement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which reimbursement models do you support?

Both. Per contract, an HMO is set to capitation (you pre-pay a fixed amount per enrollee and consults are free at point of use) or fee-for-service (your enrollee pays a reduced copay and we bill you the remainder per consult). You can run different rates for GP, specialist, and therapy.

How do you confirm an enrollee is covered?

You give us your enrollee list (we can refresh it any time). When an enrollee books, we match them in real time — only active enrollees of an active contract are covered. We can also collect an ID upload as a secondary fraud check.

Do your doctors have to accept HMO patients?

Yes — participation is opt-in per doctor, and they see the reduced rate before agreeing. Enrollees still see every doctor; those outside your panel are simply marked as full-fee.

How are providers paid?

Lonia pays providers the agreed HMO rate from the claims ledger, settled monthly — independent of what (if anything) the enrollee paid. You receive one monthly invoice and a full claim-level audit trail.

Is telemedicine covered under NHIA rules?

The NHIA framework doesn't yet standardise telemedicine reimbursement, so partnerships are arranged bilaterally. We'll work with your team to structure terms that fit your scheme.
