In this episode of This Week in Health Tech, Vik and Jimmy chat about the latest health tech news including telehealth and in-person hybrid healthcare.
Telehealth is not just a pandemic trend, and it is here to stay. Healthcare is increasingly hybrid with in-person and telehealth visits.
At the beginning of the pandemic in 2019-2020, healthcare organizations were struggling with telehealth, however over the past 2 years, technology and workflows have matured. Telehealth experience has also improved over the 2 years as evident with Jimmy's own telehealth visits in 2020 versus the better experience in 2022.
Vik and Jimmy then dive into the different payment models i.e. subscribtion or pay now or insurance for telehealth visits, and how insurance companies and Medicare-Medicaid pay for telehealth and how this may change in future.
Jimmy and Vik then discuss the argument of if providers should get paid the same for in-person versus telehealth visits.
