MobileHelp® Healthcare Shares Tools for Home Health Agency Value-based Reimbursement
LAS VEGAS, May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Allowing home health agencies to capitalize on new reimbursement opportunities, MobileHelp® Healthcare, a leader in personal and enterprise healthcare technology solutions, will be showcasing its MobileHelp Touch with MobileVitals – a remote patient monitoring (RPM) solution with integrated emergency response capabilities – at its vendor table at the 2019 Casamba customer conference, Partners In Progress, at the Bellagio resort and casino.
Designed to provide patients with an easy-to-use RPM solution as well as the ability to access emergency help if they need it, the MobileHelp Touch seamlessly fits into a variety of care models.

Otto, Senior Vice President of MobileHelp Healthcare, will join in one of the highlighted customer conference panel discussions titled, “Gaining Efficiencies with Remote Patient Monitoring and Telehealth for Home Health and Hospice Care” on May 30th at 2:30 p.m.

Otto, Senior Vice President of MobileHelp Healthcare. “I look forward to sharing insights on how home health and hospice agencies can leverage telehealth solutions now and, in the future, to achieve those goals and be better positioned for new reimbursement opportunities as they become available.”
