 We'd like to "introduce" you to the launch of our new MD247.COM scam discussion website, which was designed as a resource for consumers to ask if telemedicine is a "scam" and to learn more about the field of telemedicine.  Take a look at the welcome text, and please be sure to post your questions as soon as the site is live!

= = = =

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!

Tampa Florida (PRWEB) June 18, 2012

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.

In a victory for citizens nationwide, the Michigan State Senate passed legislation on June 5^th to specify that healthcare insurance providers could not require in-person contact between a doctor and a patient for services appropriately provided through telemedicine. 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.

It’s a nearly universal experience. You talk to a doctor, yet you’re sure that they didn’t listen or chose not to hear what you were saying. This isn’t paranoia. The doctor really probably didn’t hear what you said. The question is, “why” didn’t the doctor choose to listen during your discussion?

Are you ever nervous, impatient or a little frightened when you talk to a doctor in his office?

Do you ever feel like you’re rushed when you talk to a doctor, possibly forgetting some of your own questions?

It’s true that visits to a doctor’s office often result in moments where we ask ourselves if a doctor “heard” what you said, or if the doctor really listened. The cold reality is that an appointment to talk to a doctor often leads nowhere for a patient, aside from a sense of frustration and potential sadness. The real question is “why” does this happen so frequently or, even more importantly, “why” this is allowed to happen at all?

The simple reality of the situation is that doctors, the people who are meant to “do no harm,” are under an increasingly tremendous amount of pressure to see patient after patient each day. Both waiting rooms and examination rooms serve as cattle holding pens, “comfortably” maintaining the human stock that a doctor desperately needs to cover for the high overhead and low reimbursement fees. It’s a bureaucracy built on the expense of actually doing what they love.

The system of high debt load, massive expense to do business and the realities of insurance reimbursement develop a medical frontier where having a chance to talk to a doctor for more than a few seconds is a dream.

MD247 has a way to solve this with the use of telemedicine, but the idea of expense being the only problem everyone encounters when they try to talk to a doctor is ridiculous. Be sure to follow our series on this topic.

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.

Supplementary telemedicine healthcare services are typically sold to interested parties one program membership at a time, creating an isolated program participant who often believes that the program is a scam. To quell the claims of both the pessimists and skeptics, MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan granted his telemedicine team the ability to sell program membership wholesale to large employers.

MD247 will also have wholesale telemedicine program options available to resellers of traditional insurance.

Meehan explains that the goal of offering large employers the opportunity to purchase the telemedicine program wholesale is to build a base of satisfied members, and provide a quality of life enhancing medical service. The MD247 Sales Team invites all interested business owners to submit an information request via the MD247 Facebook business page.

MD247 is a telemedicine resource that program members can use to talk to a doctor regarding non-emergency medical situations, all from the comfort of their own living room or place of employment. Telemedicine program members are able to route any/all non-emergency medical questions through a 24/7 hotline where they first talk to a nurse, the call is then forwarded to a state licensed doctor. After a program member has a chance to talk to a doctor, the doctor will determine if it is necessary and appropriate to call a prescription in to the local pharmacy.

MD247 acknowledges that supplemental telemedicine healthcare services are not the topic of conversation in homes across the United States. History looms over the subject, technological babble covers the frontier and it leaves the masses unprotected by the potential enhancement that telemedicine can grant to the life of a family. MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan recognizes the shortfall for this specialized medical field, and has made the decision to tackle it by providing the Marketing Team at MD247 the opportunity to write “real world” content for the telemedicine website.

The “real world” content proposed by Meehan is intended to provide people who are dealing with the telemedicine product the opportunity to write scripts for use on the MD247 website. The goal is to answer questions that the telemedicine service provider faces every day, effectively building a better educated telemedicine consumer. Meehan went on to explain that the company always wants to leave their clients satisfied, preventing customer care or customer service situations from ever escalating to the point of dissatisfaction.

In order to make the process of content creation both interesting and competitive, MD247 Founder Thomas Meehan has discussed the potential for bonuses paid to employees who write a script which gets used. The company makes a frequent practice of rewarding employees for creativity, production and positive outcome regarding customer care situations.

Telemedicine is the ability to provide a patient with interactive healthcare, using technological advances and telecommunications. Telemedicine allows patients to talk to a doctor over video, or telephone, for immediate care of all medical situations which do not require the urgent intervention of an Emergency Room doctor. Whether a patient lives on a farm in Iowa, or the teeming big city of New York, telehealth or telemedicine is an invaluable tool for improving quality of life nationwide.

Positive aspects of telemedicine include:

1. The telemedicine specialist actually hears the medical history, symptoms and current condition directly from the patient.

2. The telemedicine specialist is not only talking directly to the patient, but he is also taking in current symptoms as they surface.

3. The telemedicine specialist can diagnose and recommend immediate courses for treatment of the illness, or the symptoms associated with the illness.

4. The telemedicine specialist has the opportunity to complete a more thorough investigation over the telephone, eliminating the problems brought about by bureaucratic time constraints.

5. The telemedicine specialist can treat patients in their homes, ensuring that patients are staying within their own communities and providing cost savings to the patients by avoiding long distance travel.
