In the previous article, we discussed the challenges of cross-border telemedicine and how Solve.Care overcomes them with Global Telehealth Exchange. But the benefits of GTHE go even further to offer solutions to a number of challenges that currently plague the healthcare industry today.
One of the main, ongoing, challenges in healthcare is the issue of collecting payments. Collections, write-offs and billing admin, while considering specific laws and regulations, is stressful, costly, and an extremely time-consuming process. Simply stated, payments can take months to clear and not always in the full amount charged for services rendered.
These payment issues are real and problematic, which no medical practitioner wants to deal with, but is forced to. Unless a provider has accounting and legal training, and the time it takes to perform this responsibility, they’ll have to hire and manage support staff such as; a retained lawyer and/or administrative assistants.
To collect payments, providers must do a series of steps such as: complete forms, issue invoices, and then wait for the funds to come in. And as stated earlier, there is the concern of not receiving the full amount they charged for the consultation. When it comes to telehealth, there are many payment challenges.
Now imagine throwing in cross-border care into the mix. These payment problems are even more compounded. In addition to all the problems associated with payments, you now have bank fees, variable foreign exchange rates and other unforeseen issues to consider. It is highly unlikely, that as a provider, you will receive the exact amount you quoted for your professional fees.
Global Telehealth Exchange makes getting paid simple and instant without all the bureaucratic paperwork and long waits
Solve.Care’s Global Telehealth Exchange is the world’s first global telehealth solution. It is designed to connect physicians and patients no matter where they are in the world. Moreover, consultation payments are instant and without restrictions such as; bank fees, transfer time delays and exchange rate variables.
GTHE allows providers to practice medicine without worrying about a delayed payment or receiving a fraction of the fee charged. As soon as the consultation ends, payment is automatically sent to the provider in the form of SOLVE tokens. SOLVE is the digital currency used in GTHE and can then be exchanged into local currencies. Using SOLVE makes forex fees and bank commissions redundant.
When a provider signs up to Solve.Care’s GTHE, they are assigned a GTHE ID. The GTHE ID acts as an avatar for the provider and performs most administrative functions such as credentials, accept appointments, and payments, to name a few. It’s automated to interact with various parties and handles the majority of transactions on behalf of the provider, according to the rules they set. In short, the GTHE ID acts as an automated administrative assistant that providers must either employ or do themselves.
GTHE’s payment system uses the GTHE ID as a provider’s personal payment gateway, so there’s no need for bank account details or physical address. It is a permanent identifier on the blockchain that providers receive after registering on Global Telehealth Exchange. GTHE offers no billing, collection or write-offs with instant real-time payments, in full. This system takes care of all accounting tasks so that the provider can focus more on patient care.
The benefits of telehealth and global telehealth solutions are obvious. But when it comes to immediate payments in full for services rendered, none can compare to GTHE.
