GoTelecare Goes Places with The Latest Federal Proposal

Posted by Willam Smith on August 22nd, 2018

America’s Revenue Cycle Management giant Sunknowledge Services Inc’s telemedicine portal go telecare.com is now all set to serve the nation a lot better with its superior tele-medical services. As par the latest legal proposal by the American government to bring all telemedicine service providers working in and beyond the HPSA areas under Medicare Insurance Services, GoTelecare, which is already serving all and sundry with its superior health care services, is sure to reach and serve the American multitude a lot better.

But before that let us go through a brief understanding of GoTelecare history and mode of operation.

Historically, telemedicine was an effort to connect doctors with their patients over a considerable distance where manual visits and checkups were not practically possible. One of the first attempts in that direction was successful in Pennsylvania when radiological images could be transmitted over the telephone in the 1950’s. With the advent of the internet, long distance medical treatment and consultation became easier with technically sophisticated high end devices. GoTelecare has been instrumental in keeping the virtual medical service provider flag fly higher and higher since then. GoTelecare doubles as the premiere medical revenue cycle management company as well the numero uno online telemedicine platform. 

GoTelecare offers a HIPAA compliant doctor and patient distance consultation portal with the help of web conferencing. It is aided with installed EMR or Electronic Medical Records system necessitating no additional or unexpected expenses for the patients. Some of the important reasons why gotelecare.com is indispensible are as follows

• It provides an all inclusive end to end online medical solution
• It includes no hidden or undeclared expenses
• It is a specially designed service platform to meet individual medical needs
• It does not require complicated devices
• It follows the norms of HIPAA and PCI
• It includes medical billing and offers its service platform for free for all its clients who entrust their DME billing account to GoTelecare.

GoTelecare is the only medical billing and telemedicine company which works with both medical service providers as well as payers. In the US medical insurance is dominated by federal organizations like Medicare and Medicaid, run by the state and the national government respectively. As par the rules of CMS or the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services, as propagated 17 years ago, Medicare coverage of telehealth care services were geographically restricted to only the stipulated HPSA or Health Professional Shortage Areas. That meant virtual help availed by patients outside the rural areas of the USA was not eligible for the national insurance scheme. This policy restricted the reach and effect of telemedicine, relegating the benefits and beneficiaries of the same only to the doctor deprived parts of the country.

However, recently CMS has proposed a new rule which lifts the geographical limitation on Medicare coverage of telemedicine services, which aims at expanding the penetration of the same by making it insurable in all parts of the US and not only in the HPSA areas.

With GoTelecare already free of additional cost to doctors as well as patients, whoever avails its medical billing services, the new policy proposal by CMS is sure to take it to newer heights of health service.
