Would it sound too good to be true if I told you that there’s a way for patients and doctors to use video conferencing to save time, money, and the hassle of in-office visits?<\/p>\n

And it can all be done with the approval of insurance companies?<\/p>\n

VoIP Supply is now working with doctors across the country to implement low cost telemedicine solutions with VoIP Supply\u2019s new Telemedicine Kit for Video Conferencing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While health care experts debate how to reform the American health system, the nation\u2019s doctors are asking themselves what they can do today to cut costs and diagnose patients more efficiently now.<\/p>\n

Overwhelmed doctors are looking towards a familiar place, technology, to find cures for issues plaguing them on a daily basis such as complex medical insurance reimbursement policies, long wait times for patients to see specialists, and costly and time consuming in-office visits.<\/p>\n

VoIP Supply’s Telemedicine Kit, built from LifeSize Video Conferencing<\/a>, a division of Logitech, is successfully making inroads in remote patient monitoring and distance medical services when a quick visual check-up is all that\u2019s needed to review medical history, perform basic physical exams, or to manage patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes or asthma.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealthcare companies are realizing that video conferencing is a cost effective way to cut costs and increase availability of specialists across the country to help people who can\u2019t afford to travel for specialized medical services,\u201d said Andria Baunee<\/a>, Video Conferencing Specialist at VoIP Suppply<\/p>\n

\u201cLow cost telemedince carts are increasing productivity for doctors and reducing costs for healthcare companies providing opportunites for more billable hours, more direct services, and patients don\u2019t have to wait six months to see a doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baunee explains how video conferencing is gaining approval in the medical field. \u201cVA hospitals are allowed to waive the co-pay for veterans when psychiatric consultations are done via video because they\u2019re saving money using this technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patients have to sign a consent form to be treated via telemedicine and the video call has to be encrypted, but as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services shows, there is a Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS)<\/a> in place with a number of states participating.<\/p>\n

\u201cVideo conferencing can be as simple as pairing a webcam with an internet connection,\u201d said Garrett Smith, CMO at VoIP Supply. \u201cBut, due to the nature of telemedicine, patients wishing to speak with their doctors through video need an extra layer of security. Skype cannot be used for telemedicine because it doesn\u2019t conform to HIPPA privacy laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
