Pediatric Telehealth That Actually Works: 24/7 Access, All 50 States, Real Outcomes

Episode Notes

Pediatric access is broken, and parents, payers, and health systems are all feeling it. Lyndsey Garbi, MD, co-founder and CMO of Blueberry Pediatrics, joins Megan Antonelli to talk about what 24/7 pediatric telehealth actually looks like at national scale, what the at-home diagnostic kit changes for families, and why the licensing patchwork is quietly costing kids access to care.

In this conversation:

• What buyers should actually look for in a pediatric telehealth network
• How at-home diagnostics turn a 2am panic into a clinical encounter
• Lessons from the YouthCare partnership: nearly 30% fewer avoidable ER visits for youth in foster care
• The reality of being licensed in all 50 states, and what the system gets wrong about interstate care
• Where payer-provider alignment makes or breaks a pediatric model
• What's making Dr. Garbi optimistic about the next 24 months in pediatric care
