Medicare would cover RPM for patients with chronic conditions meeting specified criteria for all fee-for-
service (FFS) physicians and practitioners. The coverage will begin six months from the enactment of the
legislation.
Avalere estimates that Policy 1 would increase federal spending by $1.1 billion, Policy 2 would decrease
federal spending by $2.2 billion, and Policy 3 would decrease federal spending by $3.0 billion over the
FY2017 – FY2026 federal budget window. Cumulatively, the three policies would decrease federal
spending by $1.8 billion, given the overlapping nature of the proposals. Our estimates reflect the new cost
to the Medicare program associated with reimbursing for telehealth and RPM services as well as savings
due to the reduced Medicare spending for beneficiaries receiving RPM.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: We examined outcomes of patient-initiated second opinions provided by a national
second-opinion program.
METHODS: We independently examined data collected from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012 from a
second-opinion program (Best Doctors, Inc.) that allows employee-beneficiaries to request free second
opinions. Clinical intake included ascertaining why patients sought second opinions and acquiring patients’
complete medical records. Trained physicians summarized the cases; identified key, unresolved clinical
questions; and forwarded the cases to expert specialists who provided independent assessments and
recommendations. Second opinions were discussed with and returned to patients for review with their
physicians. Nurses determined whether second opinions confirmed, clarified, or changed initial diagnoses
and treatments, and physicians estimated their clinical impact. Patient satisfaction also was surveyed.
RESULTS: A total of 6791 patient-initiated second opinions were completed across medical specialties.
Patients primarily sought second opinions for help choosing treatment options (41.3%) and for diagnostic
concerns (34.8%). Second opinions often resulted in changes in diagnosis (14.8%), treatment (37.4%), or
changes in both (10.6%). Clinical impact was estimated as moderate/major in 20.9% of cases for diagnosis
and 30.7% of cases for treatment. Changes in diagnoses and/or treatments and clinical impact varied across
medical specialties. In patients surveyed (n ¼ 2683), most (94.7%) were satisfied with the experience, but
fewer (61.2%) planned to follow the recommendations.
CONCLUSIONS: Patient-initiated second opinions led to recommended changes in diagnosis for about 15%
and in treatment for about 37% of participants. Further evaluation is needed to determine whether this
impacts clinical outcomes, such as the reduction of diagnosis and treatment errors.

Food and Drug Administration device classification. Once the glucose
values reach HealthKit, they are passively shared with the Epic
MyChart app (https://www.epic.com/software-phr.php). The MyChart
patient portal is a component of the Epic EHR and uses the same data-
base, and the CGM values populate a standard glucose flowsheet in
the patient’s chart. This connection is initially established when a pro-
vider places an order in a patient’s electronic chart, resulting in a re-
quest to the patient within the MyChart app. Once the patient or
patient proxy (parent) accepts this connection request on the mobile
device, a communication bridge is established between HealthKit and
MyChart enabling population of CGM data as frequently as every 5
minutes. All provider workflow is in the EHR.
Patient enrollment
To assess this communication bridge and optimize analytic tools in
our EHR, we conducted a quality improvement pilot limited to 10 pa-
tients (Table 1) from a single provider (R.B.K.). The lead author se-
lected the first 10 interested patients during standard pediatric
diabetes clinic visits who were already using a Dexcom CGM and used
an iOS device. Those patients whose CGM receivers did not have
Bluetooth-enabled functionality (2 patients) were loaned an equipped
receiver for the duration of the 3-month pilot.
Participation required confirmation of Bluetooth pairing of the CGM re-
ceiver to a mobile device, updating the mobile device with the most recent
version of the operating system, Dexcom Share2 app, Epic MyChart app,
and confirming or establishing a username and password for all accounts,
including a parent’s/adolescent’s Epic MyChart account. Setup time aver-
aged 45–60 minutes in addition to the scheduled clinic visit. During this
time, there was specific verbal and written notification to the patients/par-
ents that the diabetes healthcare team would not be actively monitoring
or have real-time access to CGM data, which was out of scope for this pi-
lot. The patients/parents were advised that they should continue to contact
the diabetes care team by established means for any urgent questions/
concerns. Additionally, patients/parents were advised to maintain updates
for their linked mobile devices, including the latest operating system and
app updates, to maintain communication of CGM data.
EHR visualization and analytics
Given the data volume of up to 288 glucose readings per day, the
standard flowsheet did not support visualizing a patient’s trends over
weeks to months. Therefore, we implemented modal day visualization
with a custom web-service embedded in the EHR (Figure 2). Design of
this clinical decision support tool could be a barrier for other health-
care delivery systems that might want to replicate our workflow. We
therefore have made it publically available at https://gluvue.stanford

IMPORTANCE Commercial virtual visits are an increasingly popular model of health care for
the management of common acute illnesses. In commercial virtual visits, patients access a
website to be connected synchronously—via videoconference, telephone, or webchat—to a
physician with whom they have no prior relationship. To date, whether the care delivered
through those websites is similar or quality varies among the sites has not been assessed.
OBJECTIVE To assess the variation in the quality of urgent health care among virtual visit
companies.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This audit study used 67 trained standardized patients
who presented to commercial virtual visit companies with the following 6 common acute
illnesses: ankle pain, streptococcal pharyngitis, viral pharyngitis, acute rhinosinusitis, low
back pain, and recurrent female urinary tract infection. The 8 commercial virtual visit
websites with the highest web traffic were selected for audit, for a total of 599 visits. Data
were collected from May 1, 2013, to July 30, 2014, and analyzed from July 1, 2014, to
September 1, 2015.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Completeness of histories and physical examinations, the
correct diagnosis (vs an incorrect or no diagnosis), and adherence to guidelines of key
management decisions.
RESULTS Sixty-seven standardized patients completed 599 commercial virtual visits during
the study period. Histories and physical examinations were complete in 417 visits (69.6%;
95% CI, 67.7%-71.6%); diagnoses were correctly named in 458 visits (76.5%; 95% CI,
72.9%-79.9%), and key management decisions were adherent to guidelines in 325 visits
(54.3%; 95% CI, 50.2%-58.3%). Rates of guideline-adherent care ranged from 206 visits
(34.4%) to 396 visits (66.1%) across the 8 websites. Variation across websites was
significantly greater for viral pharyngitis and acute rhinosinusitis (adjusted rates, 12.8% to
82.1%) than for streptococcal pharyngitis and low back pain (adjusted rates, 74.6% to 96.5%)
or ankle pain and recurrent urinary tract infection (adjusted rates, 3.4% to 40.4%). No
statistically significant variation in guideline adherence by mode of communication
(videoconference vs telephone vs webchat) was found.

Rates of naming the correct diagnosis for each visit are based on whether the physician stated the correct diagnosis for each encounter. Each data point represents
the adjusted mean rate of naming the correct diagnosis by condition across all virtual visit companies (A) and by virtual visit company across all conditions (B). The
error bars indicate the 95% CIs; dotted line, the aggregate mean across conditions or virtual visit companies. Variations in naming the correct diagnosis by condition
and by virtual visit company were statistically significant (P .001). UTI indicates urinary tract infection.

Rates of naming the correct diagnosis for each visit are based on whether the physician stated the correct diagnosis for each encounter. Each data point represents
the adjusted mean rate of naming the correct diagnosis by condition across all virtual visit companies (A) and by virtual visit company across all conditions (B). The
error bars indicate the 95% CIs; dotted line, the aggregate mean across conditions or virtual visit companies. Variations in naming the correct diagnosis by condition
and by virtual visit company were statistically significant (P .001). UTI indicates urinary tract infection.

IMPORTANCE Evidence supports use of teleconsultation for improving patient access to
dermatology. However, little is known about the quality of rapidly expanding
direct-to-consumer (DTC) telemedicine websites and smartphone apps diagnosing and
treating skin disease.
OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of DTC teledermatology services.
DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS Simulated patients submitted a series of structured dermatologic
cases with photographs, including neoplastic, inflammatory, and infectious conditions, using
regional and national DTC telemedicine websites and smartphone apps offering services to
California residents.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Choice of clinician, transparency of credentials, clinician
location, demographic and medical data requested, diagnoses given, treatments
recommended or prescribed, adverse effects discussed, care coordination.
RESULTS We received responses for 62 clinical encounters from 16 DTC telemedicine
websites from February 4 to March 11, 2016. None asked for identification or raised concerns
about pseudonym use or falsified photographs. During most encounters (42 [68%]), patients
were assigned a clinician without any choice. Only 16 (26%) disclosed information about
clinician licensure, and some used internationally based physicians without California
licenses. Few collected the name of an existing primary care physician (14 [23%]) or offered
to send records (6 [10%]). A diagnosis or likely diagnosis was proffered in 48 encounters
(77%). Prescription medications were ordered in 31 of 48 diagnosed cases (65%), and
relevant adverse effects or pregnancy risks were disclosed in a minority (10 of 31 [32%] and
6 of 14 [43%], respectively). Websites made several correct diagnoses in clinical scenarios
where photographs alone were adequate, but when basic additional history elements (eg,
fever, hypertrichosis, oligomenorrhea) were important, they regularly failed to ask simple
relevant questions and diagnostic performance was poor. Major diagnoses were repeatedly
missed, including secondary syphilis, eczema herpeticum, gram-negative folliculitis, and
polycystic ovarian syndrome. Regardless of the diagnoses given, treatments prescribed were
sometimes at odds with existing guidelines.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Telemedicine has potential to expand access to high-value
health care. Our findings, however, raise concerns about the quality of skin disease diagnosis
