OUR VISION:
eCare21 will transform health care by introducing innovative technology and solutions that will dramatically improve the quality of life for everyone in our communities - one patient, one family at a time.

THE BUSINESS PROBLEM:
The world’s aging population is driving a strategic opportunity to improve the healthcare system in the US and worldwide by encouraging Telehealth, ‘aging-in-place’ or ‘at home’ care. In the US, Seniors become eligible for Medicare at age 65. Currently, there are 58 million Medicare beneficiaries in the US and 10,000 seniors per day become newly eligible for Medicare every day!

OUR SOLUTION:
Our solution helps seamlessly document the non-face-to-face, patient-related, clinical activities performed by staff for CCM & RPM-eligible patients and generates the required clear, compliant documentation needed for billing. We have a proven ROI. Our solution can add $5K-$15K of net new income per month to each practice! Our solution introduces administrative efficiencies that return up to 20% of a medical practitioner’s time to focus on higher priority items and improve their quality of life. Medical Billing and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) companies also benefit from the increased revenue flow. So, it’s a win-win.
