What states are good for virtual first companies?

Christina Farr wrote a great article “Why investors are leaning into direct-to-consumer health”. An important factor is because you can’t hide behind a bad product. In DTC consumers make a choice to pay cash, which means your service has to deliver.

In this episode of Sam Talks Telehealth, I want to use your DTC model and target states that are pro virtual first companies.

Here’s what you need to know:

• What makes a state good for virtual first companies?
• What states already have a virtual first friendly payer environment? 
• How can I leverage my DTC market to fee for service insurance payment?

Where does the state have virtual first friendly policies, 

Your investor pitch is stronger when you can show a clear and easy path from DTC to insurance payment. 20+ states in the US give you the tools you need.

This part 2 of a two part series on digital health strategy. This episode focuses on private practices and FQHC / RHCs.

It’s a common question but ask this instead; what’s your clinical strategy and how can digital health help achieve it. Virtual care, telehealth, digital health are only tools to deliver clinical care, they’re not unique and distinct clinical services.

Every investment of time and resource into digital transformation should be able to answer the question; what organizational goal is being achieved with this digital health tool?

Today’s podcasts walks through two examples of using digital health to support your strategy.

• Strategy #1: Decrease No Shows
• Strategy #2: Integrate Behavioral Health

In the case of a digital strategy, your long term success will come when you work backwards. Create your digital health strategy after you know how the tools will advance the most important goals of your organization. 

For part 1 of the series covering health systems strategies for neuroscience and surgery check out the previous episode.

This is a 2 part series with next episode focused on private practices and FQHC / RHCs.
