Cut Your HIPAA-compliant Telehealth Survey Costs by 90% Without Sacrificing Security

Do you know what’s wrong with telehealth today? If you aren’t researching it year after year, you are missing out on how to create the best telehealth experience. Organizations like the AMA have researched telehealth from time to time, and you can see the sample AMA Telehealth Survey report.

The AMA Survey report indicates that 85% of the physicians are using telehealth. Telehealth has become mainstream, and it is the future. Having said that, research is not easy in this space. It takes much thought & effort to research the current problems that prevail in telehealth, e.g., fraudulent insurance claims, insecure virtual meets, and most importantly expensive HIPAA-compliant survey platforms.

Big HIPAA-compliant survey tools like Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, and Alchemer are the go-to tools for more significant cash-rich enterprises. They cost more than your overall research cost.

Is there an affordable HIPAA-compliant survey tool that helps Telehealth researchers? It wasn’t a few years ago. Today, you have one. Here we are, solving this by creating an affordable & secure HIPAA-compliant survey tool that helps telehealth researchers save 90% of their costs. Introducing BlockSurvey.

How High-Cost Compliance Affect Telehealth Research?

High-cost compliance solutions affect Telehealth research in many ways. A few of these are discussed below.

The premium price spent on a compliant survey tool, instead can be spent on patient care and other crucial areas that need attention.

High-cost HIPAA-compliant survey platforms tend to lock you into long-term agreements most of the time, making it impossible to switch to a better or more affordable option.

Most of all, if you compromise on compliance regulations because of higher prices, you can incur heavy penalties, legal issues, and reputation damage.

How much does HIPAA compliance really cost? - Cost comparison of major survey tools

Whether you are looking for a survey tool to run your research on telehealth disparities or investigating methods to increase patient engagement within your telehealth platform, the very first thing you can’t negotiate is HIPAA compliance and the highest data security. Now with that in mind, moving on to the widely available options for survey tools that you can use for your research.

SurveyMonkey, Qualtrics, Alchemer, and BlockSurvey are some of the best picks available. Now I would like to compare the actual cost that you might incur to run a HIPAA-compliant survey using these tools.

SurveyMonkey offers HIPAA-compliant features exclusively to its Enterprise customers. To enable these features, users must enter into a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). The cost of their enterprise plan is tailored. But still, we have an approx. figure for you to evaluate the cost involved.

Limitations: High upfront costs, anonymity for sensitive data collection is not possible, limited customization, and additional fees for advanced features.

Cost: Qualtrics offers HIPAA compliance for enterprise plans that can reach up to $100,000 and above annually.

Limitations: Expensive for small to mid-sized studies, complex setup, and steep learning curve required.
