Feeling your Pain Part 1
People from all over the United States come to us and they share many of the same problems. They have some of the same frustrations and are fighting the same fights. Perhaps some of these problems apply to you and and it is time to see if implementing a telehealth program can help those problems. At Secure Telehealth we feel your pain because we have helped so many others through it and we can do the same for you.
Example 1: Last April, at the National Behavioral Health Convention, or NATCON, a woman came up to me who ran a rural mental and behavioral health clinic with multiple locations in Southwestern Virginia. She started telling us about her organization and then she hit us with this statement, “I’m tired of paying my providers to drive around.” She was experiencing the pain of watching the wasted money go away every month as the reimbursements for gas and travel and the hourly wages kept piling up. We understood completely because other groups that we work with have shared the same problem and we have been able to help them with solutions.
In most states, the patient still has to be in an appropriate facility to be seen and for billing to get reimbursed by Medicare or Medicaid, so they still get to their local clinic. The pain reliever is that the provider can now stay in one office and help the patients at the satellite locations without being there in person. Providers see more patients in a day, Patients get seen faster, the clinic improves the no-show rate and no more time and money is wasted while providers drive around.
