The company is pitching this as a way for providers to reach their existing patients at home during the coronavirus emergency and beyond.
The COVID-19 Telehealth Program and the Connected Care Pilot Program together are set to invest $300 million so that healthcare providers can reach the patients in greatest need of virtual-care services.
They signed deals with MaQuestionMedicale in France and HomeDoctor in Spain.
Patients can also get care access to gender-affirming hormone therapy, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), urinary tract infection screening and the morning after pill with the new service.
The company plans to use the new funds to expand commercialization in the US, Europe and Israel.

The company is tripling its physician pool by the end of April, and has launched a new patient dashboard.
The raise will help SteadyMD further develop its technology platform and online services.
The proposal would fully fund telehealth services and devices for eligible healthcare providers, although some aren't pleased with its exclusion of for-profit hospitals.
