Health insurance, if reserved for childbirth and catastrophic care needs only, could cover many more people.\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Routine care healthcare services are either office-based or outpatient and generally affordable. A digital health platform connecting patients with doctors and cost-transparent services for routine care would allow market forces to control healthcare prices. Cost-transparency and direct pay in the cosmetic, weight-loss and infertility healthcare arenas have controlled costs and this process should be expanded for use in routine, non-emergency healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The value of digital healthcare for the patient<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is cost-transparency, choice and a 24\/7 as-needed online availability. This platform is particularly valuable to those without health insurance like gig workers, part-time workers, the self-employed or, those who want to budget and manage their own healthcare needs and bypass the restrictions and costs of health insurance plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The value of digital healthcare for the employer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that they can cut health costs by having employees self pay for routine care needs and move health benefits options to high-deductible or true catastrophic care plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The value of digital healthcare for the physician\/provider<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is fast payment, no claims review, no claims denial, no lost claims, no need for pre-authorizations or authorizations and, reduced billing and scheduling costs. Currently, physicians are dealing with 60-70% overhead expenses and drowning in a sea of pointless rules favoring the health insurance industry. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut the red tape and middlemen. Reclaim your profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The greatest value of the digital health platform<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the potential to cut the $840 billion dollars spent on administration services for routine care access and delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthdrum.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/healthdrum.com\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 Come join our healthcare community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more.<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/why-insurance-companies-control-your-medical-care-62540\"> https:\/\/theconversation.com\/why-insurance-companies-control-your-medical-care-62540<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Written by HEALTHdrum<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The costs for routine healthcare have ballooned out-of-sight.\u00a0 The root of the problem is the fee-for-service business model and unnecessary coverage of generally affordable routine care needs.
