Telehealth has evolved from a niche service to a central element of healthcare, a shift accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This evolution reflects a broader move toward digital health solutions that fundamentally change patient care. “We’re creating that on-demand experience for patients to get care through a more omnichannel lens,” Aniq Rahman, founder and CEO of Fabric, explained to PYMNTS in an interview. “We want to give great care virtually so people don’t have to leave their homes.”. Fabric’s care enablement system integrates virtual and in-person services through conversational AI and adaptive interviews. This system, designed by clinicians, enhances care quality, accelerates workflows up to tenfold, reduces call center volume by 15%, and improves appointment slot utilization

Latest offer to WellNow is lower than a decade agoSYRACUSE, N.Y., Dec. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest offer from Excellus BlueCross BlueShield to Upstate New York's largest urgent care services provider is less than it paid ten years ago while over the same time period has convinced New York State to raise its prices by 45%."The potential large-scale disruption on health equity is immense as people in underserved communities are left to cope with fewer resources," said Dr. Robert Biernbaum, D.O., Chief Medical Officer for WellNow Urgent Care."Excellus is making a decision that will create more underserved areas and cost New York State taxpayers more for Medicaid," said Biernbaum.Without WellNow in-network, Excellus subscribers will either pay out-of-pocket costs to use WellNow or Excellus will pay higher costs for urgent care services delivered in hospital emergency departments and hospital-owned urgent care centers. Some of those higher costs for Excellus subscribers are passed on to the state Medicaid program.Medicaid provides coverage for health care services for millions of New York's children, veterans, pregnant women, people with disabilities and seniors. Last year, WellNow Urgent Care Centers delivered high quality care for nearly 200,000 Upstate visits which were covered by Medicaid.Ironically, Excellus is poised to spend more of its money and more Medicaid money in 2024 to cover services in hospital emergency departments and hospital-owned urgent care centers instead of at WellNow centers."It just doesn't have to end this way," said Dr. John Radford, founder of WellNow Urgent Care
