CULVER CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 21, 2017) - eWellness Healthcare Corporation -- (
The undisclosed US healthcare payor group is expected to grow rapidly in the small group health insurance market which has annual premiums of over $384 billion per year. Approximately 84% of this market is traditional full insurance. This company is expected to grow rapidly by offering these small employers the ability to self insure through excellent plan design and reinsurance. We are excited to be chosen as their physical therapy gatekeeper as well as wellness program supplier.
EWLL's comprehensive PT & wellness programs and consulting services are anticipated to provide USHC and the undisclosed US healthcare payer group with new products that will: (1) build new sales channels that increase their current health insurance business, and (2) create new revenue sources through the introduction of such products.
Concierge PT Medical Services: EWLL will be provisioning to both USHC and the undisclosed US healthcare payer group's insureds a new and highly unique patient treatment protocol, that includes "white glove" concierge in-home or in-office physical therapy assessments and digital care treatments in order to enhance the medical treatment and help improve patient treatment outcomes. EWLL will become the exclusive provider of "white glove" concierge in-home or in-office physical therapy assessments, digital physical therapy and a wellness program to the individuals covered by both USHC and the undisclosed US healthcare provider. EWLL shall be selected to be the gatekeeper for all USHC and the undisclosed US healthcare provider physical therapy treatments. As the PT treatment gatekeeper, EWLL will conduct an online consultation with each patient to assess the complexity involved with the patient presentation. From the online consultation, an in-home or in-office evaluation of the patient may be prescribed. Through this initial evaluation, a plan of care will be designed for each patient that in most cases is anticipated to include digital therapy sessions.
PreHabPT: All individuals covered by both USHC and the undisclosed US payer group, that are seeking (non-emergency) orthopedic surgery shall first receive a concierge online consultation, in-home or in-office physical therapy evaluation and will be prescribed a 4-8 week prehabpt.com exercise program prior to any surgery. Another in-home or in-office physical therapy evaluation will be made following surgery and a treatment plan will be initiated. PreHabPT is up to an 8-week physician to patient pre-surgical (Prehab) digital therapeutic exercise treatment system for patients that anticipate having total joint replacement (knee, hip and or shoulder) or back surgeries. Patients may complete these digital therapeutic exercises either monitored or unmonitored.
PurePT: PurePT is a patient & independent PT digital treatment platform for connecting new patients to PT's that are seeking to be treated with our PHZIO treatment system. Patient program assessments can be made in the privacy of a patient home or office. PurePT connects new patients to PT's that are seeking to be treated, particularly in states that have direct access rules where patient's insurance will reimburse for treatment without requiring a physician's prescription. PurePT puts the patient first!
PHZIO Comprehensive Wellness Program: Any both USHC and the undisclosed US healthcare payer group's insureds may after an in-home or in-office physical therapy assessment, enroll in a 6-month comprehensive wellness program. The top line wellness goals of our PHZIO wellness exercise program is to graduate at least 60% of inducted patients through our 6-month program. Patients should expect to experience an average of a 20% reduction in BMI, a 2-inch reduction in waist size, weight loss of at least 10 pounds, significant overall improvement in balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, and lumbopelvic stability. Patients also should score better on Functional Outcomes Scales (Oswestry and LEFS), which indicates improved functional activity levels due to reduced low back, knee and hip pain.
About US Health Center (USHC):
Two years ago, USHC's PredictiMed™ Predictive Modeling Analytics and Engagement Engine was validated by the Intel-GE Care Innovations™ Validation Institute. This third-party stamp of approval recognized years of research and applied population health management work by USHC's clinical and behavioral scientists, led by their founders, Dr. Raymond Gavery, MD, and Gavin Quinnies.
By studying over 15,000 cases that were USHC members under management for over five years, the Institute had the opportunity to validate PredictiMed's™ ability to identify and lower the pre-disease high-risk level which precipitates a higher use of ER and hospital services, in thirteen major disease categories to a lower level. When preemptive intervention is applied through USHC's engagement models, reductions in the incidence of ER visits and hospitalizations can be between 80 and 93%, depending on the disease category.
For over 10 years, USHC has managed millions of lives, helping to save lives, reduce risk, improve quality of life, and reduce costs for thousands of clients. We average over 70% engagement, reduce risk burden by an average of nearly $8,000 per case, and increase productivity an average of 10% by reducing absenteeism and presentism. Over 92% of our Wholeistic™ Coaching participants would recommend our program to a friend. We help organizations and individuals find their way to their why.
The Intel/GE Validation Institute uses an unbiased, third-party evaluation to ensure its assessment methodology is sound, which is critical in building population health programs that will help those who are sick better manage their health and prevent those who are at risk from developing costly chronic conditions.
The CI Validation Institute's goal is to help organizations involved in population health -- from Health Plans to Employers to Vendors -- adhere to the highest standards of validity, allowing them to compete based on integrity and performance rather than hyperbole.
