??At Charm Economics, we’re always looking ahead to the future of healthcare innovation and reimbursement trends. Nixon Law Group’s latest blog highlights groundbreaking reimbursement opportunities for digital mental health treatment starting in 2025. This marks a significant step toward expanding access to care and addressing the growing demand for mental health services through innovative technologies. ??Check out the blog to explore how these changes could shape the landscape of mental health care: https://lnkd.in/eTnJtVEb #DigitalHealth #MentalHealth #HealthcareReimbursement #CharmEconomics

??Seemingly narrow CMS decisions can have big downstream effects. While different stakeholders may have varying perspectives on the recent Medicare telehealth updates, one thing everyone can agree on is the need for certainty in public policy to make timely decisions and move forward. For example, CMS’s decision to make audio-only telehealth permanent is a step in the right direction, but questions remain around critical policies, such as reporting requirements for telehealth providers and virtual supervision of residents. Clarity in these areas is essential to unlocking the full potential of telehealth in improving patient care and system efficiency. #Telehealth #CMS #HealthcarePolicy #DigitalHealth #CharmEconomics

??New Report from Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI)! PHTI’s latest findings reveal that medication management solutions for hypertension are both effective and worth adopting, delivering rapid and clinically meaningful improvements in blood pressure that outperform usual care. However, other approaches—like blood pressure monitoring and behavior change solutions—fall short, offering no significant clinical benefits to justify broader adoption. Charm Economics is proud to be a continued partner of PHTI, helping to develop insights into how different technologies work, what they cost to deliver, and their impact on patients and purchasers. ??Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/eenxUymt #CharmEconomics #HealthCosts #Hypertension #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation

??We are proud to see our founder, Adam Block, featured in #USAToday, where he emphasizes the growing political focus on long-term care in the 2024 election. Adam points out that the long-term care market struggles to function effectively—insurance is often hard to find, expensive, and underutilized, even though many will need it later in life. This presents an ideal opportunity for government intervention, as seen in states where this approach has proven successful. ??Check out the article for more insights: https://lnkd.in/eSipybxz #HealthcarePolicy #LongTermCare #CharmEconomics
