CareTalk Health, the first direct-to-consumer chronic care management (CCM) company, has launched its telehealth platform that is designed specifically for seniors on Medicare/Medicaid with chronic medical conditions. The platform provides personalized, comprehensive virtual care and focuses on reducing emergency room visits and bridging the gap in care between doctor appointments. CareTalk provides seniors with the quality of care they need and deserve from the comfort of their own homes.
The company is also committed to reaching seniors living in medical deserts, where access to quality healthcare is limited or non-existent. Through the CareTalk platform, medical staff are able to connect with and provide care for seniors living in remote areas and underserved communities. This is a critical step toward addressing healthcare disparities and ensuring that all seniors, regardless of their location, receive the care they need and deserve.
“Millions of seniors need regular attention for their chronic conditions, yet so few of them have access to the providers who can consistently care for them in the way they require,” said Donnie Gross, CEO and founder of CareTalk Health. “Our platform provides a bridge between doctor’s appointments for seniors and offers a way to help them effectively manage their conditions from the comfort of their home by bringing them care coordination and extra attention. This attention, in turn, improves health outcomes, reduces costs, and supports Medicare’s and the U.S. healthcare system’s goal to reduce urgent care visits and hospitalizations.”
According to the National Council on Aging, there are about 56 million people 65 and older. Of that number, 80% of them have two or more chronic conditions. As of March 2022, 86.2% of American seniors are on Medicare.
CareTalk Health provides a virtual network of licensed medical professionals, who deliver top-tier, concierge CCM services. The goal is to improve the quality of life for seniors and guide them through the complexities of chronic conditions.
