You can't argue with these kind of numbers. $1600 vs $13000 per patient.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has said that telemedicine has been helpful for diabetics, those with an opioid dependency and those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He also credited Veterans Affairs Department data that found a remote patient-monitoring program had reduced days of inpatient care by 25 percent and hospital admissions by 19 percent, saying in the report that the program cost $1,600 per patient, compared with $13,000 per patient for traditional care.

“Given the significant cost savings and improved patient outcomes associated with these pilots, we should align public policy in support of this movement in telehealth,” Carr said. “It’s the health care equivalent of moving from Blockbuster to Netflix.”
