Don’t let technology get in the way of the art of medicine.
1/3 of us population suffer from 1 or more chronic diseases.

Jan 2015 MHealth reimbursement – Medicare will pay for non face-to-face chronic care management.

3 core requirements:
1. Secure eligible beneficiary’s written consent
2. 5 specified capabilities
3. 20+ minutes per month on chronic care management

Licensing issues keep cropping up. This needs to be solved at the state level.
