Telemedicine Robots

Mayo Clinic uses telestroke robots to help swiftly diagnose stroke patients

whose hospitals do not have neurologists on hand around the clock as Mayo does. A robot at the patient's hospital allows Mayo neurologists to perform live, real-time audiovisual consultations with the patient and emergency medicine physicians at his or her hospital; speedy delivery of clot-busting drugs is crucial to halt and reverse stroke damage.

Other telemedicine options offered by Mayo include robots on the sidelines at football games to help diagnose concussions; a pilot program offering private workplace kiosks where people can be treated for minor health problems without leaving work.

The Business of Telemedicine Webinar Series Part 3: "Show Me the Money" - Information on the Increasing Reimbursement and Payment Options Available for Telemedicine Services - April 2, 2015 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM EST
Gary Capistrant, Chief Policy Officer, American Telemedicine Association

As payers more readily embrace telemedicine services, the landscape of telemedicine reimbursement is changing. Yet, despite significant changes to coverage availability, obstacles are still in place that prevent or discourage physician adoption of telemedicine services. In the third installment of the series, attendees will hear from a variety of speakers who are successfully navigating Medicare and other payor rules and achieving reimbursement for practicing telehealth. This webinar will also address different payer models and the regulations and restrictions associated with each hearing from a leading private payor on their perspectives, requirements, and objectives regarding telemedicine.
