Numerous patients all over the United States struggle with a growing logistics problem in healthcare. Currently, hundreds of thousands of appointments with doctors, health facilities, and medical care provider institutions turn up as no-shows, costing the healthcare industry a whopping $1.5 billion in losses annually. That's where Ride Velo Health comes into the picture.
The new and fast-rising innovation Ride Velo Health is yet another entry into the ride-sharing market. While it has a lot of overlap with other existing platforms, it serves a unique purpose and alleviates a fast-growing pain point. The new ride-sharing app helps the non-emergency logistics part of medical operations. It also provides patients and caregivers with a seamless platform that ensures that health appointments don't get canceled.
"Many patients cannot attend their doctor's appointments due to transportation issues," shares company founder Louis Yson. "This lack of transportation resources results in missed medical appointments where the patients have the opportunity to receive medical guidance and treatment." Accordingly, patients' health also degrades at an alarming rate due to the lack of adequate transportation to bring them to and from their appointments without hassle or risk of COVID-19 contamination. By doing so, Louis Yson and the team behind Ride Velo Health hope to revolutionize the healthcare industry by giving the logistics side a proper boost.
Ride Velo Health created its service with the patient and healthcare provider's top needs in mind. The app provides a seamless experience that thinks of the typical patient who might have to visit a dialysis center three times a week or a chemotherapy patient who might need more comfortable transport to get to the clinic and back home more conveniently. It also helps lower the chances of no-shows significantly, helping medical professionals and their practices save hundreds to thousands of dollars a day on missed appointments.
One of the unique aspects of the Ride Velo Health app is how it integrates with insurance providers like Medicaid and Medicare so that patients can use their plans to pay for their rides. This feature helps patients save money from going back and forth for their appointments and ensures that riders get paid for services rendered. Moreover, the app also takes out a very minimal percentage, which has made for happier drivers and ensures that the company receives the best service providers for patients looking for quality service.
Using the app is pretty simple. Health centers and clinics can book the ride for patients ahead of time or even schedule them earlier to avoid the hassle once things get busy. Ride Velo Health also gives notifications to remind patients of their upcoming appointments and get adequately ready for them ahead of time.
Ride Velo Health has experienced significant success since its conception. The revenues continue to climb as the ride-sharing app for medical cases continues to take a more substantial chunk of a rapidly growing market. It doesn't just meet the needs of patients, healthcare providers, and riders all alike. It also presents a great business model poised for incremental growth to expand to new cities and markets. Currently, Ride Velo Health is seeking out capital investments on WeFunder to give people a chance to back a company poised for tremendous company growth in the coming years.
By pushing Ride Velo Health into new markets, the company looks to provide both healthcare institutions and patients alike an actionable solution to one of healthcare's most predominant problems. Learn more about the company by visiting its website.
