Telemedicine gets a commercial payer with Iagnosis, Highmark collaboration
Oct,31,2014
by: Dan Verel
One of the biggest barriers to wide-spread adoption of telemedicine is weather it’s covered by insurance, particularly for consumers who might embrace it more readily if it’s not cost prohibitive but also for employers looking to contain health plan costs. So it’s not without warrant that Iagnosis, the parent company of DermatologistOnCall, announced that starting next year, web-based visits will be a covered benefit for some 5.2 million members of Highmark Commercial Insurance, a Blue Cross Blue Shield-affiliated carrier based in Pittsburgh, across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware.

The analysis is based on about 5 billion medical bills submitted to private health plans, offering a snapshot of spending taken from the medical care for nearly 1 in 4 Americans with employer-based health insurance.

MIEC, an Oakland, California-based medical malpractice insurer, has teamed up with HealthLoop to turn the startup’s mobile and web-based communication platform toward a new use-case: decreasing the number of malpractice claims brought against a doctor or hospital.
“It is well known that most litigation cases are not due to actual malpractice or ‘bad surgeons,’ but rather because patients felt that they were not treated fairly as individuals or they didn’t understand the treatment recommendation,” Dr. Wendy Levinson wrote in a JAMA study in 1997. “Patients tend not to sue doctors they like and with whom they feel rapport; they sue doctors who never took the effort to get to know them and understand their beliefs and desires or who treated them without respect.” Read More
