Telehealth Technology
In our current healthcare crisis, patients’ health and safety are top-of-mind. The rise of developments in telehealth will change our current paradigm of care in post-acute health. This option will allow for improved access and health outcomes in cost-effective ways. The role of telehealth services in the post-acute care industry is a game-changer to combat the spread of disease and improve patient interaction with physicians.
The value of telehealth points not only to preventing contagious diseases but also providing access to effective care remotely.
The rise of telehealth technology will:
- Break down barriers caused by time and distance by decreasing interaction time between patient and physician
- Maximize income by lowering in-person interaction costs defining value-based care
- Improve productivity by delivering increased physician interaction
Telehealth Services Under PDPM
The Patient-Driven Payment Model, classifies patients in a covered Part A stay. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has now elected to base payments on a patient’s complexity. Previously, payments were based on Medicare reimbursements for the volume of therapy provided.
CMS has recently moved to encourage Medicare Advantage plans to embrace telehealth, taking a step in the right direction for all patients.
