The telehealth market will eventually see widespread use, according to a new blog post from Randy Roundtree, VP Alliances, Healthcare Solutions with Calgary Scientific.
“The past year has seen marked growth in telehealth offerings for consumers. Online services, retail clinics and payers have moved forward with investments and partnerships that are expanding the market of virtual visit offerings,” Roundtree writes. “Today consumers can access healthcare online through their smartphones, tablets or a kiosk at a retail clinic. And despite continued regulatory wrangling over Medicare telehealth reimbursement, private payers and many state Medicaid programs are moving forward with paying for telehealth visits.”
