Altruis Partners with Orb Health to Bring CCM to 1 Million Patients

The truth is that healthcare innovations are generally driven by the population most in need of care…Baby Boomers.

A new study found that 98 percent of patients wanted to receive lab results via secure messaging services (SMS). Further, 100 percent of those polled preferred viewing their lab results online through an email or patient portal.

One of the unspoken but inferred themes from the interviews in this piece was that telemedicine is still something of the future.

One glaring issue that will have to be overcome though is the gap between technology and care teams.

Care teams and technology providers must do more to bridge the gap between their respective disciplines. It’s simply not good enough to focus on our individual purview and barrel headlong in pursuit of a goal or vision that will not benefit the other.

Orb Health fits perfectly into uncertain times so patients can feel comfortable knowing what they need to do to get and stay healthy.

The team at Orb Health has created a robust, cloud-based platform that not only is plug-and-play for providers (including automated patient enrollment), but also provides patients with critical information right at their fingertips to ensure retention.

In order to utilize CPT code 99490 for monthly reimbursement, you must track and document the care teams’ non-face-to-face communication with each patient prior to filing with the CMS.

Orb signed up more than 10 new physician practices and will be supporting thousands of their patients with the Orb mHealth platform.
