Our care model keeps you connected to your provider between visits, tracks your health data in real time, and ensures early intervention before small issues become emergencies. It’s personalized, proactive healthcare from the comfort of your home.

A telehealth visit lets you speak with your provider by secure video or phone instead of going to the office. You can discuss symptoms, review medications, or follow up on treatment plans easily from home.

Yes. VirtuMedex uses HIPAA-compliant platforms (AthenaHealth and Doximity) to protect your privacy and health information.

You only need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with internet access. We’ll send you simple instructions before your appointment.

CCM is for patients with two or more chronic conditions. You receive monthly check-ins, medication reviews, and coordination with your doctors to help manage your overall health.

RPM uses connected medical devices—like a blood pressure cuff, pulse ox, or weight scale—to send your readings to your VirtuMedex care team. If anything looks concerning, we contact you right away.

RTM tracks non-vital data such as pain, medications adherance, or therapy progress. It’s ideal for patients in pain management, or respiratory rehabilitation, or those having difficulties managing their medications.

TCM supports you post hospital or rehab discharge by ensuring you understand your medications, understand how to manage your condition at home, have everything needed to safely stay at home, schedule follow-up appointments, and avoid unnecessary readmissions.

You can contact us directly by emailing to info@virtumedex.com or schedule appointment right from our website. Our enrollment team will verify patient’s contact information, eligibility, confirm appointment with the provider.

If your provider recommends Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), the service will be ordered based on your specific diagnosis, and the appropriate medical devices will be shipped directly to your home within three business days.
Once the devices arrive, they will be pre-configured, activated, and ready to use. As soon as you begin taking your vital signs, your readings will automatically appear on our secure monitoring dashboard.
This allows our clinical team to identify abnormal results early, intervene promptly, and help prevent avoidable hospitalizations by addressing potential issues before they become emergencies.

VirtuMedex partners with FDA-approved medical device platforms. All data is transmitted securely and automatically to the provider dashboard.

The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge is a temporary CMS program that helps eligible Medicare beneficiaries access certain GLP-1 medications for weight management. The program provides coverage outside the standard Medicare Part D process for patients who meet specific medical and insurance requirements. It aims to improve access while longer-term Medicare GLP-1 coverage options develop. Participation is not automatic, so each patient must receive approval.

The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge began on July 1, 2026. CMS currently plans to continue the program through December 31, 2027. During this period, eligible patients may receive approved GLP-1 weight management medications at a reduced cost. Program dates, medications, and requirements may change based on future CMS guidance.

Patients must have eligible Medicare Part D coverage and meet the clinical requirements set by CMS. Eligibility may depend on the patient’s body mass index, medical history, related health conditions, and reason for treatment. A qualified healthcare provider must prescribe the medication and confirm that the patient meets the program criteria. Not every Medicare beneficiary who wants a GLP-1 medication will qualify.

Eligible patients generally pay a $50 covered by Medicare or most major insurance plans copay for a covered 28-day or 30-day supply. The standard Medicare Part D deductible does not apply to medications received through the Bridge program. However, the payment does not count toward the patient’s Part D out-of-pocket costs. Patients should confirm their exact cost and coverage before filling the prescription.

Yes. The prescribing healthcare provider must submit a prior authorization request that confirms the patient meets the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge requirements. CMS reviews the patient’s insurance status, medical information, and reason for treatment before approving coverage. 

Patients cannot enroll or receive approval without help from a qualified medical provider. An approved prescription may still require coordination with a participating pharmacy.

No. The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge only covers specific medications, doses, and formulations approved by CMS for the program. Coverage may also depend on why the medication was prescribed, since some GLP-1 drugs already have Medicare Part D coverage for certain conditions. 

Patients should not assume that every brand or form will qualify. The prescribing physician can help identify an appropriate covered option.

VirtuMedex helps physician practices provide ongoing GLP-1 patient support between office visits. Services may include patient check-ins, medication adherence support, symptom monitoring, care coordination, appointment follow-up, and updates for the referring physician. 

This support can help patients stay connected to their treatment plan during post-recovery care, active weight management, or long-term maintenance. VirtuMedex works as an extension of the physician’s care team without replacing the physician’s clinical judgment.

Yes. Medicare covers CCM, RPM, and RTM programs. Telehealth visit reimbursements are covered by insurance plans may vary depending on CMS updates but we help you navigate all options.

We offer affordable private-pay concierge options, or private pay urgent care visits so your care can continue without interruption.

• Individual Concierge Membership – $250/month covered by Medicare or most major insurance plans
• Executive Health Package – $1,500/year covered by Medicare or most major insurance plans
• Concierge CCM with unlimited Telehealth to adjust patients medications is $595 covered by Medicare or most major insurance plans
• Concierge TCM with unlimited Telehealth with access to physician is $795 covered by Medicare or most major insurance plans
  Each includes priority scheduling, 24/7 nurse support, and dedicated care coordination.

Yes. Caregivers can have secure access to the patient portal to view updates, patient’s vitals, appointments, and care plans.

We work with physicians, home health agencies, skilled nursing facilities, rehabs, hospitals, health systems, insurance plans seeking to extend care management, RPM, RTM, or telehealth to their patients.

We’re always looking for mission-driven physicians and NPs licensed in New York and Florida. To learn more, email HR@virtumedex.com.

A DME healthcare partnership connects a Durable Medical Equipment company with other healthcare organizations that can address additional patient needs.

VirtuMedex partners with DME organizations to help eligible patients access physician-led clinical services, Chronic Care Management, Remote Patient Monitoring, and other appropriate care management programs.

The DME organization continues to focus on equipment, supplies, and DME-related services while VirtuMedex focuses on appropriate clinical and care management services.

DME companies and healthcare organizations may establish appropriately structured relationships designed to improve coordination of patient care.

VirtuMedex can work with DME organizations to identify compliant workflows through which potentially eligible patients can learn about and access Chronic Care Management services.

Patient enrollment and clinical services remain subject to applicable eligibility, consent, medical necessity, payer, and regulatory requirements.

Chronic Care Management, or CCM, provides ongoing care coordination for eligible patients managing multiple chronic conditions.

Because many patients receiving durable medical equipment also have complex chronic healthcare needs, CCM can provide additional support between traditional physician visits.

Services may include individualized care planning, medication review, regular patient communication, coordination with other healthcare providers, and follow-up on identified healthcare needs.

VirtuMedex welcomes partnership discussions with organizations throughout the DME and home medical equipment industry, including DMEPOS suppliers, home medical equipment companies, respiratory equipment providers, diabetes supply companies, mobility and wheelchair providers, orthotics suppliers, medical device organizations, and other companies serving chronic and medically complex patient populations.

The first step is a partnership consultation.

Our team will learn about your organization, patient population, geographic footprint, DME specialties, and current workflows. We can then evaluate opportunities to connect
