Abstract:
The teleconsultation model of the National Telemedicine and Connected Health Center is cited as an example, to study the pricing formulation of video teleconsultation. This refers to the pricing composed of such four parties as the inviter′s hospital, invitee′s hospital, technical support, and business operation. Based on such pricing standard, teleconsultation charges can be collected. From 2015 to 2017, the annual applications of teleconsultation is on the rise year by year. Such pricing has been accepted by patients at large, as it embodies the value of each party, and ensures the long-term running of telemedicine system. Therefore, this pricing formulation could be a referable model for the localities to formulate their teleconsultation pricing.
