MD247 announced this week that it would be inviting participation of telemedicine program members on the company Facebook social media page. The goal for member participation and engagement is to aggregate all ongoing real time reviews from live telemedicine program members, and for those MD247 reviews to serve as telemedicine testimonials. The consumer participation as a whole serves as one component in a larger plan to verify that telemedicine is not a scam, a fraud or any type of medical ripoff.

MD247 determined that ongoing interaction of telemedicine program members on the Facebook page was both necessary and appropriate, when one looks at the new way that consumers determine their purchases. All team members recognized that consumers are visiting Facebook to review a myriad of products that range from things like favorite food to telemedicine programs. Implementing a canned broadcast system of Facebook posts, while choosing to ignore the thoughts and engagement of MD247 telemedicine program members, was considered an improper approach to customer care. The ultimate goal of the social media plan is to get everyone comfortable enough to provide MD247 reviews on the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/md247dotcom.

Largo Florida based MD247 (MD 247; MD/247; M.D. 247; MD247.COM) provides discounted telemedicine healthcare services nationwide to families, and discounted wholesale telemedicine healthcare to businesses. MD247 has successfully provided 25,000 people the ability to talk to a doctor twenty-four hours a day, talk to a nurse twenty-four hours a day, receive discounted prescription drugs and receive discounted in-person healthcare services. In addition to discounted healthcare services, MD247 provides support to groups supporting the employment of veterans of the United States Armed Services.

Telemedicine provider MD247 asked a cross-section of the public Tuesday if they have ever been in a position where influenza symptoms strike, either themselves or a loved one, leaving the person experiencing flu symptoms and looking for the advice of someone capable of providing an expedient course of treatment? MD247 understands it is frightening to chart the course alone, trying to sort through the advice of well-meaning friends and the abundance of over-the-counter medications. The end result of illness for most of people is often either a “wait and see” mentality, which leaves one emotionally drained and physically exhausted, or a bank account draining “urgent care awaits” mentality. Neither option provides a patient, or caregiver, with the kind of satisfaction and peace of mind they really need but most people do not realize that there is a better answer. With this, MD247.COM introduced a new alert article to its program members recently covering flu symptoms. The new alert to patients will appear in the MD247 ripoff report article series, and will be followed by additional flu symptoms warnings.

The MD247 blogging team reminds all MD247 telemedicine program members that MD247 ripoff debunking article series is meant to serve as an informal educational tool, and always suggests that members talk with a Los Angeles doctor about any questions they may have.

Millions of Americans gathered around their television sets on Sunday for one of the nation’s most celebrated events, the Super Bowl. This year’s game took place in the shadow of studies that show football damages the health of the men playing the game, often leading to depression and suicide. The damage caused by football typically manifests itself in football induced brain damage, brought about by inadequate safety equipment and massive hits to make the ESPN highlight reel. Nearly 4,000 former players are currently suing the NFL over this type of injury.

The question becomes whether or not the league can fix the problems, and remain popular, or if the league will just fall into obscurity?

Please keep in mind that MD247 is unable to provide medical advice regarding traumatic brain injury, but we are interested in debating the pros and cons of improving NFL safety.

In an unusual statement to the press, Thomas Meehan explained that the members of his “talk to a doctor” telemedicine staff have charted a new direction for all social media and blogs for the service provider. One of the first social media accounts to be affected by the change is the MD247.COM blog tool Blog.com.

Meehan explained that the shifts in approach have been a practice on the MD247.COM social media accounts since the beginning. Finding a voice in and amongst the 5,000 “web based fix me now” doctor sites is a difficult task and, in order to step out of the shadow, Meehan made the unprecedented move of changing the social media approach to one which incorporates more of what people want . This translates to MD247.COM existing as one of a select few Blog.com accounts encouraging real open discussion regarding current political and economic topics.

The MD247 Social Media Curator has been given the authority to allow polite discussion of topics like national healthcare; the election and the realities of national unemployment rates. She advised that conservatives, liberals, independents, libertarians and all other interested individuals are welcome to conduct polite discussion. The MD247 Blog.com account can be located at http://md247.blog.com/.

When the team behind MD247.COM reviews results in ninety days, they predict that there will be fewer incidents in which a scam informer claims MD247.COM requires a ripoff report.

Every online business has had the displeasure of dealing with the abundance of “consumer protection” websites, as well as the legitimate product and business review websites. Each website has its own set of rules regarding the ability of the reviewers to anonymously report the positives and negatives about both products, and experiences with physical businesses. All “consumer protection” sites, as well as even legitimate review sites, prevent business owners from positively resolving consumer concerns without a heavy ransom.

Rather than simply pay $7,000.00 to a “scam” report website, for the removal of customer inquiries, MD247.COM developed a website for concerned consumers to submit directly to MD247.COM scam questions regarding the validity of telemedicine. The site is intended to give real people the opportunity to get a real response regarding their questions, and kick the predatory practices of sites like Ripoff Report; Scam Informer and Scam Book in the seat of their pants.

Check back frequently, because we will soon be launching the software which will let you post your “is this a scam” style questions and you will be able to read our simple health tips too!

The health care frontier in the United States over the last fifty years has been illustrated by soaring fees for services, increasing expenses accrued by doctors and a predisposition toward excluding participants with preexisting medical conditions. In short, the health of our greatest national asset became a matter of Russian roulette due to a simple matter of cash.

Defined with a broad stroke, telemedicine is the delivery of healthcare service or transmission of health and wellness information using telecommunication technology.

MD247 was established to eliminate our collective epidemic of a demographic group age 24 – 64 either outright lacking health care coverage, or possessing a minimal amount of health care coverage which quickly builds out of pocket expenses. The mechanism for delivery of a large scale affordable supplemental health care option could only be viable utilizing the technologies associated with telemedicine, and therein a company capable of serving the minor and major medical needs of 50,000 families was born.

MD247 works on foundation of strict in-house client servicing, refusing to allow its family of regular clients to be forced into tense calls with outsourced workers. This attention to providing a “real” face to the 15,000 families joining MD247 each week, also allows for a fascinating and airtight set of on-site personal data protection practices.

None of these ideas would be possible without the strong hand of MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan “at the rudder” of this health care ship. Meehan’s twenty-five years in private business have provided him the unique opportunity to design a business model that protects customers. Firsthand customer interaction also opened his mind to the true necessity for supplemental telemedical health care.

Concierge Telemedicine? Concierge Telehealth? Telemedicine? Telehealth? The management team responsible for the innovative MD247 supplementary telemedicine healthcare program has heard ever skeptical uttering of keywords associated with the telemedicine industry. In an effort to both battle the skeptics, and work in conjunction with fellow industry professionals, MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan issued an announcement to invite Tampa doctors to explore the possibility of blog exchanges commencing in July 2012.

The idea behind the blog exchange is to take a Tampa doctor/Tampa nurse who currently maintains a blog, or actively participates as a writer for a blog as a guest writer, and introduce that writer to the loyal readers on the MD247 website and social media accounts. The MD247 team of writers would then be responsible for providing the guest author an article drafted from the MD247 telemedicine perspective for his or her own website, blog or social media account.

Meehan invites all interested writers to contact MD247 telemedicine at mgermann@md247.com, with the subject line “Blog exchange,” to indicate their interest in learning more about the innovative approach to sharing industry information.

On Monday June 18th, the MD247 Social Media Team announced that it would officially be carrying all telemedicine blog articles typically run on the website http://md247.com/md247-blog.html. All MD247 blogs had previously been featured on the sites SocialNetgate, Blog.com, Blogger, LiveJournal, Posterous, Tumblr and TypePad.

A blog is a discussion, or information site published on the internet consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often were themed on a single subject. Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries; yet still others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual.

The MD247 telemedicine blog discuses all things related to telemedicine, as well as general health and wellness issues.

Telemedicine connects doctor and patient at any time, on any day of the week, across the miles and from home or work and any other location. The doctor’s office is really all of time and space.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) June 18, 2012 Thomas Meehan announced on Monday morning that the leading Florida provider of supplemental telemedicine healthcare was “prepared to decrease overall healthcare expenses through the application of telemedicine.”

Thomas Meehan explained that there is a reported 46 million people in the United States without healthcare insurance, beyond the minimum level of emergency room care provided by a 1968 federal law. Meehan explained the law actually causes increases in healthcare expenses across the board, with participating hospitals forcing the expense of free care into other treatment areas.

His contention was that there needs to be a middle ground, or area of compromise, by which the non-emergency medical situations could be treated outside the confines of traditional medical care. MD247 is prepared to offer a viable option, first to residents of the State of Florida, through the use and application of unique medical services at a distance using telecommunications technology. The medical process is called “telemedicine,” and Florida residents are encouraged to learn more by visiting the new and easily navigable MD247 website at http://www.md247.com.

Meehan invites residents of the Tampa Bay area to contact MD247, and request an in-person meeting to discuss both the positive aspects and the negative aspects associated with telemedicine. The discussion is set to include information regarding potential overall decreases to the expenses incurred by the insured, potential applications for telemedicine and how it is possible to become an advocate for healthcare change.

This piece of legislation allows patients to be reimbursed through the healthcare policy.  The Senate action followed earlier action taken by the Michigan House. Of particular note is that the services that are covered under this legislation are already covered under Medicaid, making it common sense that they were made available to private insurers as well.

The nationwide victory is simply that patients in rural areas often live quite a distance from the local hospital, and this legislation will ensure that they receive high quality healthcare without burden.

Today I had the good fortune to find the film His Girl Friday, a 1940 Howard Hawks classic screwball comedy starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russel. The film chronicles the adventure of an intrepid female reporter, Hildegard Johnson, as she momentarily falls for the allure of a “normal” life with a bland man. The life she is considering

Kids today aren’t like kids were in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s or even 80s.

The days of “cops and robbers,” kickball and sunburn earned during a hard day live back with my memories of E.T. and Indiana Jones. That loss makes me a little sad to think about, but the reality is that families are a lot different now than they were in the not so

In a drastic move to protect the health and wellness of our MD247 telemedicine program members, we issued an official retraction of our March 26, 2012 nationally distributed press release. The retracted health and wellness oriented press release was entitled “Telemedicine Specialist MD247.COM Provides Female Program Members with Information about Heart Attack Symptoms.”

The March 26, 2012 press release detailed the medical symptoms a woman might experience when suffering a heart attack, and it was meant to serve as an informative and direction providing guide for female readers. The MD247 telemedicine team determined that it was preferable to have program members contact the 24/7 Talk to a Doctor Hotline, or the 24/7 Talk to a Nurse Hotline to discuss non-emergency medical questions regarding potential cardiac symptoms.

MD247 reminds all readers that the telemedicine program is unable to address medical emergency questions, and any/all such questions must be directed toward local immediate emergency assistance.

The telemedicine services MD247 provides are meant to serve as a “supplement” or “enhancing” agent for traditional healthcare policies. MD247 telemedicine is never meant to serve as a replacement for ANY traditional healthcare policy.

MD247.COM Founder Thomas Meehan alerted national media on this week regarding the continuation of the first in a series of telemedicine specials which are available exclusively on the MD247 telemedicine social media Facebook business page.

The specials discussed by Meehan have the official tag “Deal of the Day,” and represent extreme savings that the discounted healthcare provider will be making available to new MD247 telemedicine program members. The extended first “Deal of the Day” is a ninety day (three month) membership in the MD247.COM telemedicine program for a fee of only $29.95, which is a total savings of 50% off of normal program prices. The telemedicine provider is making it possible for people seeking supplemental healthcare options to talk to a doctor for a significantly discounted rate, when one compares it to the $80.00(+) cash payment required when visiting an Urgent Care Clinic. Meehan indicated that the “Deal of the Day” was designed to put money back in the economy and, if that made it necessary for the MD247 telemedicine program to operate at a loss on the specials, then that was what the company would need to do.

The extended first MD247 “Deal of the Day” goes live again at http://www.facebook.com/md247dotcom on May 29th, and will only be available to interested parties who visit the Facebook page to retrieve the MD247 telemedicine sales hotline number. The telemedicine sales hotline number being provided on May 29th will differ from all other MD247 sales call lines, meaning it must be used in order to redeem the special pricing.

MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan also reminded all potential MD247 telemedicine program members, that the services MD247 provides are meant to serve as a “supplement” or “enhancing” agent for healthcare. MD247 telemedicine is never meant to serve as a replacement for ANY traditional healthcare policy.
