<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">When Qualcomm added telemedicine to its employee benefits package in 2012, it was hoping to cut costs and improve care. The company initiated the new approach by encouraging staff to use mobile care, including phone calls and video conferencing, instead of only in-person visits, to discuss care options with healthcare professionals. That was two years ago.

<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">When the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced seven new codes for reimbursing telehealth services, the change was welcomed more or less universally in the healthcare realm.

The more services CMS covers, the thinking goes, the better equipped hospitals and doctors are to make patients healthier, not to mention happier, and to do so at a lower cost to everyone.</span>
