ATLANTA – Sept. 16, 2020 -- Today, Trapollo has expanded the availability of their bold new telehealth solution, SimplyMD, enabling practices to stay connected and treat their patients remotely. Trapollo and Cox Business see telehealth as the new standard of care across healthcare and this tool as a simple, easy-to-use, affordable option for private and group practices.

Trapollo’s SimplyMD telehealth solution for group practices was designed for:

• Simplicity: aiming to make the telehealth experience easy to use for both patients and practices.
• Convenience: enabling both providers and patients the flexibility to give and receive healthcare when and where it is most convenient.
• Affordability: giving practices a cost-effective platform with no surprise fees allowing for unlimited telehealth visits.
• Security: providing practices with a HIPAA compliant platform to help ease worries around security and compliance

“After working with the largest healthcare providers in the nation for years, we knew private and group practices across America were also in need of an easy-to-use telehealth solution. SimplyMD delivers practices a convenient, quick way to treat their patients remotely with a solution that fits their workflows.” said Mike Braham, senior vice president and general manager, Trapollo.

When telehealth and virtual care are offered to patients, the cost of getting care can decrease while the capacity to provide care dramatically increases. The new SimplyMD solution from Trapollo helps physicians stay in touch with their patient population to deliver more targeted, remote care.

Our technology collaborator, Pager, found that 66% of patient cases can be treated with virtual care, including 33% through self-care.* And outside of COVID-19, the study also observed that nearly half of telehealth consults are for low-acuity issues which often don’t require an in-person visit, making virtual care that much more important.

The new solution -- previously piloted in the Omaha, Nebraska area, will be available broadly with a 90-day free trial available to eligible practices in Cox markets in Rhode Island, Louisiana, California, Arizona, Oklahoma and Virginia. With no downloads or integrations necessary, it is a fast way for practices to begin rolling out telehealth and virtual care.
