Who We Are
With more than 2 decades of healthcare experience, including as a paramedic, telemedicine vendor experience, and oversight of the innovative statewide stroke registry and a large telemedicine program, we are uniquely positioned to support innovation and virtual care / telemedicine programs.
We work with key stakeholders to assist with reviewing the details of the program they are considering, including virtual care programs. In virutal care programs, regardless of a program’s maturity level, technology should not be the primary focus. The numerous back-office activities should receive significant attention. This is important as financial, compliance, and regulatory oversight of virtual care programs continues to increase.
Examples of items we review with stakeholders:
-Virtual care business models and factors to consider
-Billing factors
-Compliance considerations
-Fair Market Valuation (FMV) factors to consider
-Potential traps: non-affiliated facility fails to pay invoice; provider license not final yet services provided
-Technology considerations: build in-house versus purchase/lease, service level agreement (SLA), security
-Provider compensation and fee to charge-out to sites
Innovation program factors include:
-New program / product implementation oversight
-Team collaboration and communication to promote program implementation success
-Coordinated and timely work sessions to ensure new program / product delivery
