• Medicaid billing, as available.

• Range of other federal funding sources for telemedicine, as listed in the Telemedicine Information Exchange’s web site, at:
  http://tie.telemed.org/funding
• Foundation and corporate funding sources are identified in
  **Health Grants Funding Alert, available online at: http://www.healthresourcesonline.com
  **The Foundation Directory, available on at: http://fdncenter.org, searchable for a monthly. Hard copies are available at most public and university libraries.

• And the dreaded “Other” category….which includes some managed care organizations but not all, some private payers but not all of the time, and so on. It’s “dreaded” because much research can be involved even after likely sources are identified—often, contracts are awarded on a case-by-case basis, with few payers specifically stating that they do or do not reimburse for home telehealth.

More research details on obtaining funding from these resources are provided here, under Funding Resources.
