Izolo, sixoxisane ngokuthi i-DOJ yaqala kanjani ukunaka ukukhwabanisa okuzungeze ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19.Namuhla, lesi sihloko sibuyekeza esinye isihloko "esishisayo" esihlobene ne-DOJ-telemedicine.Ngonyaka odlule, sibone i-telemedicine idume kakhulu kunangaphambili.Njengoba umuntu angalindela, ngakho-ke, uMnyango Wezobulungiswa (i-DOJ) ubonakala ugxile ekusetshenzisweni kwawo ku-telemedicine ukuze uqinisekise ukuhambisana nemithetho yenhlangano.
Ngo-Ephreli 2021, uMnyango Wezobulungiswa wasola abahlinzeki abane be-orthopedic stent kanye nabanikazi bezinkampani ezimbalwa zokumaketha ngokuhlela uhlelo lwesaphulelo nolokufumbathisa ezweni lonke ukuze ba-ode ama-orthopedic stents angadingekile ngokwezokwelapha kwabahlomulayo.
Abamangalelwa abahlanu abathweswe amacala bahlanganisa: uThomas Farese noPat Truglia, abanikazi bamadokodo amathambo, abathweswe icala elilodwa lokwakha itulo lokukhwabanisa kwezokwelashwa kanye namacala amathathu okukhwabanisa kwezokwelashwa;UChristopher Cirri noNicholas DeFonte, inkampani yokuthengisa engumgunyathi Abanikazi nabaqhubi be, babekwe icala elilodwa lokwakha uzungu lokwenza ukukhwabanisa kwezempilo;U-Domenic Gatto, umnikazi kanye no-opharetha womhlinzeki we-orthopedic stent, ubekwe icala elilodwa lokwakha itulo lokukhwabanisa kwezokwelashwa.
Empeleni, uhulumeni wathi kusukela ngo-Okthoba 2017 kuya ku-Ephreli 2019, ummangalelwa wayebandakanyekile ekwakhekeni kwezwe lonke lokuqola i-Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) Medicare, Tricare, Civilian Health and Medical Programme, nezinye izinhlelo zezinzuzo zezempilo zikahulumeni nezizimele. .Abamangalelwa kuthiwa bakhokha futhi bathola izaphulelo ezingekho emthethweni ukuze bathole ama-oda e-orthopedic braces ayengadingeki ngokokwelashwa, okuholele ekulahlekelweni okuphelele kwezigidi ezingu-65 zamaRandi.
UMnyango Wezobulungiswa uphinde wasola u-Truglia, u-Cirri, no-DeFonte ngokusebenza noma ukulawula izikhungo zezingcingo zokumaketha ukuze unxenxe iziguli futhi uzinxenxe ukuthi zithole izisekelo zamathambo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziyazidinga noma cha.Abamangalelwa abathathu bakhokhele izinkampani ze-telemedicine izinkokhelo ezingekho emthethweni kanye nokufumbathisa ukuze odokotela nabanye abahlinzeki basayine ama-bracing orders futhi bafunge amanga isidingo sabo sezokwelapha.Abamangalelwa abathathu baphinde bafihla izijeziso kanye nokufumbathisa ngokusayina izinkontileka ezingamanga nezinkampani eziwumgunyathi ze-telemedicine kanye nokukhipha ama-invoyisi ezindleko “zokumaketha” noma “zenqubo yebhizinisi yokukhipha umsebenzi”.
UFarese noTruglia bathenge lawa ma-stent oda ngabahlinzeki be-orthopedic stent e-Georgia naseFlorida, lapho bakhokhisa khona izinhlelo zezinzuzo zokunakekelwa kwezempilo zikahulumeni nezizimele nge-oda.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuze kufihlwe intshisekelo yobunikazi babo kumhlinzeki webakaki, uFarese noTruglia basebenzisa abanikazi begama futhi banikeza lawa magama ku-Medicare.
Isikhalazo siphinde sathi uGatto uxhumanise uCirri noDeFonte nabanye ababambisene nabo futhi wahlela ukuba badayisele abahlinzeki be-orthopaedic stent abahlinzeki be-orthopedic stent eNew Jersey naseFlorida ukuze bathole ukukhahlela okungemthetho kanye nokufumbathisa okungekho emthethweni.U-Gatto (nabanye) wabe esekhokha izaphulelo ku-Cirri no-DeFonte kumzuzi ngamunye wokunakekelwa kwezempilo kukahulumeni, futhi ama-oda abo e-orthopedic stent athengiswa kumhlinzeki we-orthopedic stent.Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, ukuze kufihlwe ukukhokhwa nokugwazelwa, u-Xili no-Defonte bakhiqize ama-invoyisi angamanga, okumaka izinkokhelo njengezindleko “zokuthengisa” kanye “nokucubungula ibhizinisi”.Ngokufanayo no-Farese no-Truglia, u-Gatto wafihla ubunikazi bakhe bomphakeli we-stent ngokusebenzisa umnikazi wegama efomini elithunyelwe kwa-Medicare, futhi wasebenzisa inkampani yegobolondo ukudlulisa izimali azikhokhela umphakeli.
Amacala ummangalelwa abhekene nawo ajeziselwa iminyaka engu-10 ejele kanye nenhlawulo engu-$250,000, noma kabili inzuzo yonke noma ukulahlekelwa okudalwe ubugebengu (noma ikuphi okuphezulu).
UThomas Sullivan ungumhleli wenqubomgomo nemithi kanye nomongameli we-Rockpointe Corporation, inkampani eyasungulwa ngo-1995 ukuze inikeze imfundo yezokwelapha eqhubekayo kubasebenzi bezempilo emhlabeni jikelele.Ngaphambi kokusungula i-Rockpointe, uThomas wasebenza njengomeluleki wezepolitiki.
