We realize that even well intentioned people can be too busy and forget to have important tests done regularly, like Pap tests, mammograms, colon cancer screenings, and immunizations. Our job is to follow your doctor's instructions and help make sure that you get the proper tests done at recommended intervals.
While preventive care sounds simple, in practice it is difficult for your busy physician and assistants to administer a comprehensive preventive care program. PrevCareMD takes the administrative burden away and leaves your doctor free to concentrate on what really matters, looking after you. Healthscreen does not receive your results nor does it make suggestions about treatment. That's between you and your doctor.
While most patient services are insured and paid for by government plans, some are not. Telephone advice, prescriptions by telephone, sick notes, and most forms are common examples of services not covered by government.
Your doctor understands the convenience and value that these services provide, but with today’s high overhead costs, it is no longer possible to provide them for free because they consume up to 25% of your doctor's time. Everyone understands how busy doctors are these days, and that’s why Healthscreen developed CallerMD to help physicians and staff better manage this growing list of services.
By taking away most of the work in tracking and billing for uninsured medical services, your doctor's office has more time to actually provide these and other medical services while we handle the administrative work.
Most doctors offer two ways to pay for uninsured medical – patients can either pay for the services one at a time, or pay a single fee for a whole year. Many patients find the annual fee the more convenient, cost-effective option, but it’s always the patient’s choice.
HealthAlert allows your doctor to offer you an easy and effective way to manage your long-term health care needs by reminding you when certain tests and visits are due. For example, if you have High Blood Pressure, HealthAlert will remind you to have cholesterol and other important blood tests done. If you have Diabetes, HealthAlert will remind you that you require sugar and blood pressure checks at least a couple times a year. If you are a parent with young children in the household, HealthAlert will remind you of important immunizations that are required. Even if you don't have a chronic medical condition, HealthAlert can advise you, based on your doctor's recommendations, about screening tests for cancer, heart disease and other problems that can be prevented or at least detected at an early stage when the chance of successful treatment is highest. We will help you remember when tests are due and can even book the necessary appointments on your behalf.
Healthscreen has created software to help your doctor store your records on a computer instead of in paper files. Computerized, electronic medical records save your doctor time which can be spent dealing with your medical issues instead of writing notes. Electronic records also make it easier to track your conditions and share information with other physicians involved in your care. Of course, security and confidentiality are major concerns and Healthscreen's software is carefully designed with your privacy in mind.
