“We are thrilled to be working with Direct Access at Home to provide our iUGO Care Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Psychiatric Collaborative Care Services (CoCM) modules for Behavioral Health Integration to their more than 25,000 Medicare patients throughout Florida,” said Dr. Lisa Crossley, CEO of Reliq Health Technologies, Inc. “Studies consistently show that both patients with chronic conditions and physically healthy seniors have better health outcomes, are able to live independently longer and report higher Quality of Life scores when they are provided with access to mental health services. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) billing codes that enable clinicians to bill for both CCM and BHI/CoCM recognize the relationship between mental and physical health, and support clinical caregivers who want to treat the whole patient to achieve the best possible outcomes. We are also very pleased to once again be working with our integration partner, Blum Telehealth, on this account.”
Onboarding will start in April and is expected to be completed within the next 6 months. Each patient on the platform will generate an average of $65 USD per month in SaaS and support service fees for Reliq.
