Review the status of telemedicine globally and locally Legislative, reimbursement initiatives, interstate

licensing and ACA effect Examine newer technologies and services available to

clinicians Make some projections

Where is telemedicine today?… an update of sorts

+Growth Types in Telemedicine

Traditional hub and spoke telemedicine encounters increasing organically Over 200 networks with 3,500

service sites in US Over half of US hospitals

using some form of telemedicine

Adding more spokes Specialty driven telemedicine

expanding primarily in ED’s Provider-to-Provider

consultation

Retail telemedicine pilots are expanding and gaining traction

Portal-based telehealth services are normal part of practice

Direct to consumer services popping up spurred by ACA

Organic – Logarithmic Inorganic - Exponential

eVisits Booming“Almost one in six doctor visits will be virtual this year”

Up 400% since 2012

eVisits have … saved UPMC an average of $86.80 per member visit compared with the cost of an office visit

This year [2014] in the U.S. and Canada, 75 million of 600 million appointments with general practitioners will involve electronic visits, or eVisits

Medical Centers Jumping In

+ Mid-Level Telemed “Load Balancing”

CVS Minute Clinic Experience California

Off loading volume to remote APRNs Lower level LPN performs registration and

hands on Remote APRNs are MC providers in the same

state who are in-between live patients Over 4,000 visits in last year Reimbursement same as face-to-face Survey results (1,700 patients)

33% prefer video to face-to-face, 50% liked it about the same and 10% found it worse

Page 12: Telemedicine SW Clinical Society

+Retail Telemedicine Expansion

Collaborative Coverage Physician shortages Rate limiting steps

Chronic condition management Cooperation with IDN CCM reimbursement not

dependent on face-to-face visits

Increasing range of services Beyond APRN scope of

practice Clinic expansions

Telemedicine Studio in your Pocket

Nearly every smart phone owner has more resolution, bandwidth and capability than all telemedicine facilities built in the 1990’s.

How many of you do

telemedicine?

+Daily “telemedicine”

Phone messages Patient Portal eVisits Retail direct-to-consumer

Low cost answers to questions

Phone conversations Peer based

videoconferencing Face Time Skype

Retail direct-to-consumer Most by phone Maybe 10% video

Asynchronous Synchronous

mobile systems

Dabbling in Retail VisitsSigned up with HealthTap

Page 22: Telemedicine SW Clinical Society
Page 23: Telemedicine SW Clinical Society

+Other developments

75% of large employers would be offering telemedicine benefits for employees within the next year

57% of broadband households access at least one portal per month

ACA health plans are or will be offering telehealth coverage in most plans

Health insurers offering their own telehealth or video consults for enrollees

mHealth use expanding Most new devices capable

of measuring some health parameters

Page 24: Telemedicine SW Clinical Society

+Telemedicine Savings

Would require all employees and dependents to use technology-enabled interactions in lieu of face-to-face visits

37% employers will offer telemedicine consultations in 2015

> 80% of insurance providers to offer telemedicine reimbursement by 2019

Legislative Updates and Initiatives… still struggling with “what IS is”

Objective 2

Page 26: Telemedicine SW Clinical Society

Legislative Arena

Page 27: Telemedicine SW Clinical Society

+Medicaid.gov

Telemedicine seeks to improve a patient’s health by permitting two-way, real time interactive communication between the patient, and the physician or practitioner at the distant site.

Means the use of interactive telecommunications equipment that includes, at a minimum, audio and video equipment.

Asynchronous or “store and forward” applications would NOT be considered telemedicine but may be utilized to deliver services.

Page 28: Telemedicine SW Clinical Society

+HIPAA

Does NOT consider an interactive video consultation to be protected health information, so it does not govern telemedicine encounters.

Not considered PHI unless it’s recorded.

Device encryption and a private internet connection are recommended for patient security and privacy.

Most videoconferencing tools are encrypted.

Other types of telehealth, such as the transmission of patient data or images, ARE considered protected health information and must be managed according to HIPAA requirements.

Fine line between real-time video transmission and the same interaction that is being stored.

+Legislative Action

Fostering Independence Through Technology Act Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn), John Thune (R-S.D.)

TELEhealth for MEDicare (TELE-MED) Act of 2013 Reps. Devin Nunes (R-Calif) and Frank Pallone (D-N.J) HR 3077

H.R. 5380 creates a phased approach over four years to expand coverage of telemedicine-provided services and remove arbitrary barriers that limit access to services for Medicare beneficiaries. Included in these provisions are the gradual removal of geographic restrictions to patient care, and the addition of coverage for healthcare services that take place in other locations such as the home and walk-in retail health clinics

+Federation of State Medical Boards Interstate Medical Licensure Compact

Expedited license Recognized by all member states Compliments, does not replace existing State

licensure

Interstate Medical Licensure Compact Commission Administrate physicians applying for this type

of license

Spearheaded by Wyoming State Board of Medicine Requires a minimum of 7 states to participate Looking to form in 2016

+Why Isn’t Telemedicine the Norm?

TM visits reimbursed at lower rates than face-to-face visits

RVU based productivity Parochial nature of

medicine Site-specific credentialing State licensing

requirements

Store-and-forward prohibition

Scheduling issues Culture of convenience
