Have you ever wondered how to deal with reimbursement when using Legit.Health? Let's explore why the act performed by our artificial intelligence is a reimbursable medical act.
Short answer: yes
Yes, every time a patient sends a photo of their disease, and Legit.Health's artificial intelligence finds a disease or measures its severity, this constitutes a medical act, as defined in HL7's FHIR standard and the Medical Code of Ethics of most countries.
Keep in mind that Legit.Health's artificial intelligence searches for conditions and measures the degree of affectation of the patient on behalf of the doctor. Furthermore, there is a doctor indirectly involved in this process, who must confirm the diagnosis and make the final medical decision.
