We do not charge for services such as website development, design, appointment tools, insurance credentialing, telehealth platforms, digital marketing, EMR, EHR, and more because you will be participating within the OpenTelemed network. All the resources we provide will be under your ownership. We understand that setting up these resources can cost a significant amount, usually around $5,000 to $8,000. However, we are charging very little because our primary focus is establishing a long-term, healthy, and mutually beneficial financial relationship.

Furthermore, we are fully compliant with FCC and other federal entities’ guidelines, which means we have specific financial limitations and thresholds for charges. These charges are limited to enrollment and training only. We highly recommend practitioners to utilize our enrollment services for accuracy and a swift integration with the FCC Universal Licensing System, although you have the option to use our services.

Our sign-up process at OpenTelemed is straightforward:

  1. Fill out the application form.
  2. Complete the telehealth society sign-up for patients.
  3. Await the FCC.GOV enrollment and verification process.
  4. Share your compliance enrollment details or utilize our services for a small fee.
  5. Upon agreement, you will be seamlessly added to the self-paced classroom.
  6. As you progress through the training, you will receive all the necessary resources, allowing you to start your telehealth practice upon completion.

OpenTelemed’s revenue model is directly linked to the success of our network partners. We establish a formal agreement between Network Telehealth Practitioners (you) and OpenTelemed Services, which includes a 20% service fee. In essence, OpenTelemed will invoice 20% of the service fees only when you earn income. There will be a monthly invoice issued if you have earnings; otherwise, all assigned resources remain completely free of cost, without any hidden fees.

As an example, if you earn $20,000 in a given month, you would pay $4,000 (20% of your earnings) to OpenTelemed, resulting in a net income of $16,000 for that specific month.

We have four robust patient acquisition sources at OpenTelemed:

  1. Our nationwide telehealth society membership plan.
  2. The process of insurance credentialing.
  3. Referrals from network hospitals.
  4. Our digital marketing efforts.

It would prove beneficial for those with their own practice. Joining us will enhance the digital visibility of your practice, attract additional patients, provide robust compliance security, and open doors to state-wise grant opportunities.

Embarking on an independent practice set up by OpenTelemed not only safeguards your existing employment and federal benefits but also guarantees your privacy. Joining us is a secure and advantageous choice, allowing you to dedicate your time to assisting people in need.

At any stage of the process, you have the flexibility to terminate the contract. Nonetheless, we kindly ask for a 30-day notice to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities. We are committed to supporting you and continuing to provide patient care until the contract is officially concluded.
