How It Works

See how CarePICS works for patients and providers:

 

  • Step 1

    Dr. Jones, DPM, CWS assesses Mrs. Smith’s wound via Visit and is concerned that the wound won’t heal because of her history of peripheral artery disease (PAD).

  • Step 2

    Dr. Jones decides to consult with Dr. Brown, a vascular interventionalist skilled at treating PAD.

  • Step 3

    Dr. Jones uses Consult to send wound imagery, measurements and clinical data to Dr. Brown instead of text messaging PHI or trying to connect by phone.

  • Step 4

    Dr. Brown assesses Mrs. Smith’s condition and responds to Dr. Jones via Consult on suggested treatment. Dr. Brown schedules a diagnostic imaging appointment with Mrs. Smith.

  • Step 5

    After screening, treatment and diagnosis, Mrs. Smith receives follow-up care from her podiatrist, Dr. Jones.

  • Step 6

    Dr. Jones and clinical support staff use Report throughout follow-up treatment to capture, measure and track wound healing. They share progress with attending physicians and other specialists through CarePICS.

  • Step 7

    The multi-specialty team was able to proactively treat Mrs. Smith’s wound and prevent additional complications with the help of simple, secure, technology-enabled care through CarePICS.

Reimbursement

Telehealth and virtual care are gaining wider acceptance by patients and coverage by private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid.

In August 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services published the Proposed Physician Fee Schedule, providing permanent guidance about telehealth.

New rules allow physicians to meet the direct supervision requirement of “incident-to billing” through remote supervision. This flexibility does extend to the use of asynchronous or phone-only communication.

Providers can now help their peripheral artery disease, critical limb ischemia and wound care patients benefit from better care, while also achieving their practice growth goals.
