Three things to know about the project, announced June 16:
1. Health Reimagined features 20 pilot programs in four California counties.
2. The pilots will create a virtual care system allowing patients to access their physicians through their smart devices; use an Apple Watch-enabled virtual assistant to help physicians create an EHR by voice; and settle all claims in real time before a patient leaves a hospital or physician office.
3. Blue Shield is making real-time claim adjudication available to providers statewide to speed cash flow to hospitals and physicians facing economic pressures related to COVID-19.
