United Concierge Medicine to Speak at National Conference; Algozzine to Serve as Expert at American Telemedicine Association Fall Forum
UCM CEO will be a featured "XPert" at the ATA EDGE Fall Forum in Washington, DC, discussing how UCM is changing the front door of health care by marrying customized concierge medicine with the efficiency of telemedicine. UCM has developed a unique model that saves an average of $600 per utilization, with a 99% patient satisfaction rate and 100% customer retention rate.
Washington, DC, September 30, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Amid the uncertainty of the national healthcare debate and rising premiums, the unique tool offered by United Concierge Medicine (UCM) will be on display in Washington, DC. The UCM team has been tapped as an expert resource for this year’s American Telemedicine Association’s (ATA) annual Fall Forum. CEO Keith Algozzine will be featured as an EdgeXpert at the event, dubbed EDGE 2017 being held October 2-4 and will be sharing UCM’s unique virtual employee health care clinic that improves utilizations, saves time and stress, and ultimately reduces costs to employers.
UCM CEO Keith Algozzine, PA-C said, “UCM represents a new era in telemedicine, one where compassionate, customized care is delivered through advanced technology, not four walls of a facility. Our unique model is changing the front door of health care by offering virtual health care clinic that allows patients to access a provider immediately to virtually assess and guide treatment options, avoiding ER and urgent care visits unless truly necessary.”
Launched in 2013, the UCM care model provides a unique new benefit to users – a virtual, on-call provider – and cost savings to employers by driving more appropriate levels of care. Unlike traditional telemedicine options, UCM provides customized and in-depth care from dedicated providers that can include ordering labs and X-rays, referrals and prescriptions. By eliminating the four walls of a hospital, ER or urgent care center, UCM is able to drive down utilization costs and improve care to ultimately save time and money for patients and employers.
Today, this virtual employee health care clinic provides immediate access to dozens of providers for patients from a variety of settings, allowing patients to seek top notch care without the overhead of traditional brick and mortar. UCM’s experience has found a single consult by a patient yields a direct medical cost savings of more than $600, but more importantly, a 99% patient satisfaction rate.
This year’s Fall Forum is being held at Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC. Algozzine will be one of about two dozen senior healthcare thought leaders from across the country speaking at learning labs at the annual event.
