Proposed U.S. telehealth bill may provide reimbursement for the Company's healthcare monitoring
SANTA MONICA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 21, 2018 / Parallax Health Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PRLX) ("Parallax" or the "Company"), an outcome-driven connected healthcare company, is pleased to report that its common shares are now trading on the OTCQB ® Venture Market.
"Up-listing to the OTCQB® Venture Market is a milestone in our Company's development," stated Paul Arena, Chief Executive Officer of Parallax Health Sciences, Inc. "It raises our profile, provides increased transparency to a broader audience, and represents a major step in our goal to be listed on the NYSE or Nasdaq in the first half of 2019."
Mr. Arena continued, "The U.S. Congress is now considering the Reducing Unnecessary Senior Hospitalization (RUSH) Act, which aims to reduce rehospitalizations using telemedicine and telehealth to improve patient care and reduce costs. If the bill passes, we are well positioned for this growth market with telehealth solutions that address chronic disease management in a way that no other company can, based on a proven behavioral and outcome-based architecture. Parallax's wholly-owned subsidiary, Parallax Health Management, Inc., offers a remote patient monitoring platform featuring proprietary outcomes-based optimization technology. Our patented technology provides a unique barrier to entry and industry-first applied behavioral analytics technology, with outcome optimization management through a platform known as the Intrinsic Code."
Passage of the bill under consideration would make it easier for providers to receive reimbursement for delivering remote patient monitoring and position the Company for rapid adoption of its healthcare platform solutions. The proposed changes would remove current mandates restricting the use of telemedicine and increase reimbursement to doctors and providers.
Roughly 60 million Americans are covered by Medicare and the new rules would mandate that telehealth and monitoring services be available to all patients. Under the new plan doctors would be paid approximately $90 per patient for providing initial telehealth and monitoring services and would also be paid $42 per patient per month for reviewing the patient data.
