Teleretinal Screening Lowers Costs, Improves Outcomes

Retina Labs works with a wide range of organizations and stakeholders across the spectrum of care. Our solutions are designed to support the population health strategies of health systems, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs), Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and insurance payers enabling them to deploy cost-effective and proactive teleretinal screening programs at sites across their organization and at locations of affiliated providers in their network. Moreover, we partner with health providers such as Primary Care Physicians and Eye Care Professionals enabling them to expand the clinical scope of their practice and improve the quality of care through telemedicine-based vision care.

Health Systems & Providers

As part of the value based care framework, reimbursement is now tied directly to patient care. Proactive and preventative care, especially for chronic diseases such as diabetes has become a critical component for health systems and providers. As such, these organizations are directly accountable for improving patient outcomes and quality.

Our teleretinal screening solution makes it easy for health systems and providers to implement large-scale, highly accessible screening programs in a more cost-effective manner than traditional face-to-face encounters.

  • Make better use of clinical and ophthalmologist resources
  • Improve screening compliance rates
  • Measurable improvements in HEDIS quality measures
  • Reduce healthcare costs

Health Insurance Payers & ACOs

The high cost of treatment for diabetic retinopathy has a major impact on payer and ACO profitability. Retina Labs teleretinal screening solution has been demonstrated to lower the costs of delivering care to diabetics over time. Furthermore, the retina is a window into each patient’s overall health. An annual retinal exam can surface other health conditions such as hypertension, thyroid disease, carotid artery disease, MS and even Alzheimer’s.

From a financial point of view, improvements in patient care can increase reimbursement under Medicare Advantage and other risk-sharing programs. In addition, most ACO models offer bonuses to providers who deliver better quality care to patients at a lower cost, and to those health plans that increase their HEDIS scores.

  • Improve HEDIS scores & Star Ratings
  • Enhance preventative care
  • Significant costs savings, decrease health plan expenditure
  • Improved member experience

Primary Care Physicians

Annual retinal exams are included in the NCQA HEDIS ratings program, the Medicare Advantage STAR quality rating program and Medicare quality rating programs. By offering diabetic patients an on-the-spot retinal exam as part of their routine visit, PCPs can potentially qualify for financial incentives under these programs. Patients no longer need to have their eyes dilated or make separate appointments with eye care specialists. With these services available in PCP offices, patients have a more convenient way to get their annual retinal exam performed.

Retina Labs offers PCPs a turn-key solution that includes an easy to operate retinal camera, training for your staff and diagnostic reports interpreted by board certified ophthalmologists.

  • Greater focus on preventive medicine and early disease detection
  • Compliance with quality standards
  • Unlock HEDIS bonuses
  • Minimal impact on patient flow

Eye Care Professionals

Ophthalmologists and optometrists are critical stakeholders in the delivery of front-line eye care and treatment. These services are traditionally delivered through face-to- face encounters. However, for patients living in remote communities, receiving eye care can be a challenge. Teleophthalmology can be an effective means for widening the scope and geographic reach of your practice.

  • Increased detection of treatable disease
  • More time for higher yield procedures
  • More convenient for patients

Employers

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness among working-age adults. For large employers, this can represent a significant economic burden when considering the costs of health insurance and employee time away from work. The complications of diabetic eye disease can lead to workplace disability claims and a diminution of an employee’s ability to perform their job.

Retina Labs offers workplace teleretinal screening for employers as part of a workplace wellness program. Exams can be conducted at the work site at scheduled corporate health fairs.

  • Lower healthcare benefit costs
  • Promote healthy lifestyles
  • Reducing health risk
  • Building employee engagement
