Congrats Sam on 5 years

great experience with home labs & Allomap testing!!

Tom asked if the service is for all people or just transplant patients. RemoTraC is for Transplant patients. Doxy.me is for all people.

awesome Sam :)

Hi Ken, You asked how confident are you with the Allomap blood draw and testing for organ Rejection?

We have been using the Allomap test at UCLA for several years and it is has been well validated in the literature as well

As always, make sure you speak to your physician and care provider team about any concerns that you have as we always look at each patient individually

Thanks for the question!

How does the hospital bill for tele visits? What is the average charge/ copay to patient?

As a heart recipient/patient, I love it that I can get the Allomap test, instead of being limited to only having heart catherization procedures at the hospital. (I still have in-person caths during my annual visit to University of Maryland Medical Center)

had the same problem with drs using different platforms

hi i am a pre heart txp coordinator from Pittsburgh at AGH (Allegheny Health Network). we use Epic for our EMR and we only have the option to use the video chat throught Epic and pt's have to have iphone or android

we use Zoom for txp evaluations when needed

feedback to poll question2 as a patient: Sometimes coordinating between CareDx & local blood draw agencies can be challenging to coordinate.

Hi Alex,

You asked How do you accommodate those patients who have limited English speaking capabilities?

virtual telemedicine visits could also facilitate transplant patients to interact with their transplant doctors, instead of being seen by NPs & PAs during the in person visits.

We are fortunate at UCLA to have the ability to have the ability to have telephonic interpretation services available as well as live interpretation services available

Q. Does doxy.me protect the providers & patients against ugly dusruptions/violations like 'zoom-bombing'?

I believe we'd see an increase in post transplant follow up compliance with the transplant center. Kidney transplant patients have a tendency to fall off the grid after so many years, and it's difficult to get them into the clinic. I've already seen an uptick in compliance since instituting telehealth.

our PA's our only inpt and we only have 1 NP and she doesn't see post txp so in person visit or televisit you always meet with your coordinator and an MD

Q: 'telemedicine' seems a bit dated, is there a better term like 'VirtualMedicine' or 'RemoteMed', "VirtMed'..etc?

i feel when they do not have testing needed and it is just labs/clinic - outpt labs can be done prior at local lab and tele visits work well for those visits.

The Patient will see you now https://www.amazon.com/Patient-Will-See-You-Now/dp/0465040020

why is it important to use a HIPAA compliant service like doxy.me ?

will care do continue doing labs at home after Covid 19

as a patient, co-payments shoukd be lower...less overheads etc

I think it would help to have transparency on the clinic's side of why their fee schedule has the equivalent cost for virtual visit vs in person.

Q. will Medicare & Medicaid programs all telemedicine costs?

if anything the center had to take on more staf

Elizabeth- thank you for the question about CareDx running RemoTraC going forward. We are dedicated to the transplant community and commit to providing these home draw solutions as we hear about the ongoing needs even outside of COVID
