The Health Care Convener: a Strategic Partner in Home-Based Care

Large payers and home-based care companies, through merger and acquisition, are forming conglomerates to ensure a seamless pipeline for fulfillment in home-based care. Our question is, what about the rest of the market and how will they navigate the home -based care waters?

At a webinar we attended in April of 2021, were C-level representatives of major national payers and providers on the panel. The subject at hand was, "What Medicare Advantage Plans Want From Home-Based Care Providers”.

Here are the results of the meeting in brief, the three essential services needed to meet MA requirements for reimbursement are:

1) primary care (telehealth)

2) behavioral health (telehealth) and

3) data analytics with?RPM?(remote patient monitoring)

Why would an agency or provider want to make the effort? Because the overwhelming majority of seniors want to age in place and will have Medicare coverage. Home - based companies and practices will definitely want them as part of their payer mix. Having a convener is not only cost-effective, it generates additional revenue as well.

Along with qualifying for payers, we help you become the best possible strategic partner for referrals versus your competitors. Hospitals will choose those home-based companies that best meet their needs; readmissions being the deciding factor when it comes to referring their post acute patients.

Equally as important, offering our telehealth benefits bundle for staff will assist with retention and recruitment. Health benefits are often cited as the number one choice for the majority of employees. Our plan covers the whole household not, just the employee.

At?Telethink, we simply “activate” the home as a key site in the care continuum through our professional network, which is made up of board certified physicians, behavioral therapists, care navigators, access to specialists, Rx services and an RPM solution to back it all up. All services are structured to add revenue and are competitively priced on a subscription basis.
