How Kareo Telemedicine works:

Providers who use the Kareo platform can schedule video visits using the same workflow as for in-office appointments.
At the time of the telemedicine visit, providers launch the video window with one click to see their patients face-to-face while documenting the encounter.

Insurance eligibility verification and billing recommendations, such as appropriate modifier codes, are included in the service.
Scheduling a video visit in the Kareo platform also triggers automated communication to the patient to remind them of their upcoming appointment and provide secure login access at the time of the visit.
The Kareo Telemedicine Rules Engine ensures reimbursement from private payers at the same rate as in-office visits.
Patients can easily access the HIPAA-compliant video consultations through the Kareo Telemedicine mobile app on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. Patient populations ranging from millennials to baby boomers are eager to engage with their healthcare providers through online and mobile access.

"If given the choice, patients want to see their independent providers rather than going to large hospital networks," said Rodrigues. "When private practices add technology-enabled services like telemedicine, they stay competitive and see higher patient satisfaction. And, they generate revenue while keeping operating costs down. We're pleased to offer Kareo Telemedicine to meet the needs of providers and patients alike."
