DALLAS, June 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Valor Healthcare is
proud to announce its selection as one of four companies awarded a
position on Veterans Affairs' (VA) eight-year, $1.032 billion contract to provide Remote Patient
Monitoring (RPM) and Home Telehealth (HT) services for veterans.
VA's Office of Connected Care will deploy the systems and tools
needed to monitor veterans' chronic health conditions while they
are at home. The contract award represents the largest Remote
Patient Monitoring effort in the federal government.
The VA's award notice, posted Monday, May
1st, states that the work supports at least
72,000 veterans whose needs can include chronic care, acute care,
health promotion, disease prevention, and non-institutional care.
Awardees will also be responsible for providing prosthetic
appliances in support of care coordination and chronic disease
management efforts.
Valor Healthcare is uniquely positioned to deliver high-quality
RPM-HT services to veterans across the country. Valor is the
largest private provider of Community Based Outpatient Clinics to
VA, providing direct primary care and mental health services to
over 140,000 veterans across the country. With this award, Valor
Healthcare is the only private company in the United States providing veterans both
in-person care in brick-and-mortar facilities and care delivered
via Remote Patient Monitoring and Home Telehealth.
"We are both honored and humbled to be selected as one of four
contractors to provide RPM-HT services for the VA," said Dr.
Scott Wise, President and CEO of
Valor Healthcare. "We have assembled an extraordinary team of
RPM-HT technology industry leaders, and we are committed to
leveraging our collective expertise with this technology, this
patient population, and this customer to help VA deliver
unparalleled RPM-HT services to the most deserving patient
population in the world." The VA's decision to award this contract
to Valor Healthcare underscores the government's commitment to
providing high-quality care to veterans across the country. Valor
Healthcare has a 25-year, proven record of delivering exceptional
healthcare services to veterans and other patriots serving our
country.
The VA's RPM-HT services are especially important now, given the
increased demand for remote healthcare services due to the COVID-19
pandemic, and are a key part of VA's healthcare delivery
modernization effort. The RPM-HT technologies provided by Valor
Healthcare and the other companies awarded this contract enable
veterans to better self-manage their chronic conditions and alert
caregivers or other medical personnel to needs for active care and
case management, including referral to a clinic or hospital for
in-person care.
Valor Healthcare as the prime, teamed up with noted established
companies and thought leaders in the space to bring the most
comprehensive Remote Patient Monitoring/Virtual Care options in the
market today. Notably among them, Movement Interactive, Inc., Valor
Healthcare will have the option to work with Movement Interactive,

innovate," added Dr. Eric Luster,
CEO at Movement Interactive. "This contract will equip VA care
facilities with the next-generation technology necessary to provide
healthcare workers with a much-needed extra set of "digital" eyes
