Product Updates

Telemedicine Service Update

You may have heard that Twilio, our current Telemedicine technology provider, is sunsetting its Programmable Video service, which Meddbase uses for telemedicine consultations. This service will continue until the end of December 2026, giving us ample time to find and implement a new solution.

We are actively working with Twilio and other potential suppliers to enhance our telemedicine features. Currently, we are selecting a new partner that meets our compliance, security, and functional requirements. We will keep you updated on our progress.

FAQs:  

Why is Twilio discontinuing the Programmable Video service? 
Twilio has decided to sunset the service as part of its strategic business decisions, focusing on other core offerings. 

How will this transition impact our current telemedicine services? 
We do not anticipate any immediate impact on your current services. The transition will be carefully managed to avoid disruptions. 

Do we expect any issues in the next 2 years due to the lack of support from Twilio as they are sunsetting it? 
Twilio has assured us that they will continue to support the Programmable Video service until December 2026. We do not anticipate any issues due to a lack of support during this period. 

What are the key milestones and timelines for this project? 
We are currently in the supplier selection phase and will provide detailed timelines and key milestones as the project progresses. 

How will the new telemedicine solution be better than the current one? 
Our goal is to enhance the telemedicine features, offering better performance, security, and additional functionalities that meet your needs. 

Will there be any changes in the way we access and use telemedicine services? 
We will aim to make any transition as easy as possible, but there may be some changes to the interface or workflows. We will provide detailed information and training resources to assist you.   

How will you ensure the new solution meets compliance and security standards? 
Compliance and security are top priorities in our selection process, and we will ensure any new solution meets all necessary standards.   

Can you share more details about the potential new suppliers you are considering? 
We are evaluating several potential suppliers and will share more details once we have finalised our selection. 

How will you keep us informed about the progress of the transition? 
We will provide regular updates via email to keep you informed about key developments.   

What kind of support will be available during the transition period? 
Our customer support team will be available to address any questions or issues, and we will provide additional resources as needed. 

Will there be training or resources available to help us adapt to the new supplier? 
Yes, we will provide comprehensive training and resources to ensure a smooth transition to the new supplier. 

What are the contingency plans if the new solution isn't ready by December 2026? 
We are confident in our timeline, but we will develop contingency plans to ensure uninterrupted service regardless of any potential delays. 

 

 

Recent Events

On June 20-21, we had the pleasure of attending the Society of Occupational Medicine Occupational Health Conference 2024 in Belfast. Over the course of two days, we explored the latest innovations and trends in occupational health, connected with industry leaders, and showcased how Meddbase can help occupational health teams improve their operations.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand, shared their insights, and joined us in exploring the future of occupational health.

Until next time, Belfast!

Last but not least, the Meddbase team has participated in our annual Meddmiles event, with team members running, walking, cycling, and swimming to raise money for two important charities: Sal's Shoes and the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.

Sal's Shoes ensures that preloved children's shoes find new feet, providing clean and comfortable footwear for children. The Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association supports those affected by MND, ensuring they access necessary help and support.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and supported these causes. It’s been great to see our team getting active, one mile at a time.

Minimising Revenue Loss in Medical Billing

According to recent data, despite a staggering $3 trillion in total claims submitted by healthcare practices in the US in 2018, more than $260 billion were denied. This equates to nearly $5 million in denials per provider, on average. Fast forward to 2022, providers spent nearly $20 billion pursuing delays and denials across all payer types, with only half of this sum eventually paid out, meaning over $10 billion was wasted in futile battles over claims.

Read our latest article to discover simple ways to reduce revenue leakage in medical billing, understand the key metrics to track, and learn how to make sure every dollar owed is collected to improve your financial performance.
