LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Heal, the leader in doctor house calls, today announces the expansion of its services through the Heal Health Network™ (HHN). HHN offers patients convenient access to lactation consultants, and soon physical therapy, right in their own home. These services are often prescribed or recommended by doctors, but difficult for patients to find, schedule, and coordinate. With HHN, doctors through Heal can recommend curated and vetted providers to patients who can now receive lactation guidance, and other services conveniently at their home or office.
"The Heal Health Network finally closes the loop between patients, doctors, and health services providers for the first time," said Dr. Renee Dua M.D, Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder at Heal. "As many of us know, it's hard enough having back pain, or a new baby to care for. It's even harder having to wait three weeks, on average, to see a doctor only to find out you have to wait again and commute someplace else to get physical therapy or lactation services. We're making it so everything comes to you on your schedule. Soon, if you wake up with back pain, you can see a Heal doctor and get physical therapy, all without leaving the privacy of your home or office, all on the same day. More importantly, the care between you, your doctor and your therapist are now coordinated so your doctor can recommend a health service provider and then your service provider can keep your doctor up-to-date on progress, in real time."
The HHN is possible because of Heal's many innovations that enable the delivery of healthcare at home. Specifically, Heal's core platform reduces bureaucracy and operating costs over 65 percent compared to traditional doctor's offices. As a result, Heal doctors spend less than ten percent of their time on bureaucracy while physicians in a traditional clinic setting waste up to half of their day on paperwork, according to a recent study from the American Medical Association [note: source .
"To deliver house calls at in-network rates, we had to re-imagine the entire way healthcare is delivered," said Nick Desai, CEO and Co-Founder of Heal. "From demand to dispatch, to payments and prescriptions, we built a unified platform that is the foundation for doctor house calls and now for the Heal Health Network. As a back pain sufferer myself, I know how much easier it will be to see a doctor and get physical therapy in my own house, the first day I feel pain."
As of today, highly-qualified, highly-vetted lactation consultants are available to patients in California 365 days a year, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., through a simple request via the Heal mobile app or website. Rates will range from $80 to $199 per session and these health service providers will be available in two to 24 hours. Heal's technology will streamline each step in the healthcare delivery process, including booking, the creation of electronic medical records, transparent billing, and more.
