Commercial payers can provide telehealth benefits to create convenient and cost-effective solutions for chronic disease management.

Telehealth offers a cost-effective way to improve member satisfaction with benefits and support meaningful chronic disease management, according to a new report from AHIP and the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC).

“Telehealth has long been viewed as a game-changer for healthcare service delivery,” AHIP said. “When fully embraced and executed, telehealth can expand and enhance the delivery of healthcare services to geographically disadvantaged or underserved populations.”

Payers can boost the value of telehealth even further by offering mobile options accessible through smartphones and tablets, the report found.
