TELEMEDICINE IMPROVES ACCESS
The Hidden Supply of Provider Availability
→ Telemedicine can unveil a hidden supply of unused provider availability that
currently exists.
Eliminate Geographic Barriers
→ Telemedicine connects patients to providers throughout the state without travel
time or additional cost regardless of patient or provider location.

The Commonwealth Fund, Feb 2014
→ Implemented telemedicine Programs for Long Term Care Facilities
→ There was a significant decline in hospitalization rates at facilities that were deemed
“more engaged” with the telemedicine service; hospitalization rates for this group
declined 11.3 percent.
→ Based on the reduced hospitalization rates of the more-engaged facilities, Medicare
could expect an average of about $151,000 in savings per nursing home per year. The
annual cost of the telemedicine service was $30,000 per nursing home, suggesting
that there could be $120,000 in net savings per year.
CASE STUDY

CMS TELEMEDICINE EXPANSION AUG 2014
The Medicare telemedicine Parity Act of 2014
→ Improves telemedicine coverage in Medicare
→ H.R. 5380 creates a phased approach over four years to expand coverage of
telemedicine- provided services and remove arbitrary barriers for Medicare
beneficiaries
The provisions include:
→ Gradual removal of geographic restrictions to patient care
→ Coverage for telemedicine healthcare services that take place in home and walk-in retail
health clinics
→ Remote patient monitoring (mHealth capabilities)
→ Chronic Disease Management

→ March 11, 2015 - Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
allows Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to use telehealth
services.
→ The decision extends coverage for telemedicine services to millions of
Medicare beneficiaries.
→ Medicare telehealth services can be covered without regard to
longstanding rural and institution restrictions.
→ Telehealth coverage will be extended to 80 percent of Medicare
beneficiaries living in metropolitan areas and from any service
originating site, such as their home
THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE IN TELEHEALTH COVERAGE

billion when compared to the cost on in-person

“The Mayo Clinic announced a new telemedicine
pilot project as part of its overall effort to reduce
healthcare costs, with private kiosks – 10/3/14”

of employers offering telemedicine in 2015-
Telemedicine could potentially deliver more than $6
billion a year in health care savings to U.S. companies”
