Every state is building a shared specialty pool. Beam already runs one. We built the one-to-many model before RHTP had a name.

Federal RHTP investment — every state has a plan to build specialty networks
All 50 states are developing shared care infrastructure right now
Critical access hospitals that need this model — not a one-off contract
Every state received RHTP money in 2026. Click your state to see how much — and what they're planning to do with it.
Funding amounts reflect FY2026 CMS RHTP allocations. State priorities based on publicly available transformation plans and CMS project abstracts.
Your patients are driving 90 minutes for a specialist your community should have access to locally. RHTP gives you the funding. Beam gives you the specialist — shared across your region, available when you need them, documented every time.
You're not a single hospital problem — you're a network problem. Beam gives you one shared specialist layer that covers every facility under your brand. No one-off contracts. No duplicate negotiations. One infrastructure, distributed across your entire footprint.
You're accountable to CMS for results — consult volume, specialty demand, clinical impact, response patterns. Beam generates that data automatically. Every interaction is documented. Every trend is reportable. You show up to your year-two review with evidence, not anecdotes.
The VA figured this out years ago. One specialist supporting clinics across entire regions. Beam brings that model to your RHTP program — white-labeled under your name, built into how your providers already work.
Quick guidance on a complex case. Documented clinical input without a full visit. Or a complete tele-consult when the case demands it. Providers choose what fits. Every interaction is tracked.
Specialists support multiple hospitals simultaneously. Coverage is distributed, not duplicated. A CAH in the north part of your state gets the same access as the flagship hospital downtown.
Rotating through a different face every week doesn't build trust. Beam connects your providers with the same specialists over time. They know your teams, your workflows, your patient mix.
Works alongside your hospitalists, ED, primary care, and inpatient teams. There's no separate portal to remember or parallel workflow to maintain. It fits into how care is already being delivered.
Consult volume by specialty. Response times. Demand patterns by facility. Clinical trends over time. This is exactly what CMS expects your state to demonstrate — and Beam captures it automatically.
When consult data shows sustained demand in a specialty, you have the foundation to launch outpatient teleclinics — turning your RHTP investment into a permanent, revenue-generating service line.
Telehealth deployed one-to-one has never scaled. Every hospital negotiating its own specialist contract is the exact problem RHTP funding is trying to fix. Here's the difference.
Every hospital recruits independently — competing with the hospitals two counties over for the same small pool of specialists.
Telehealth gets deployed but stays outside clinical workflows. Providers tolerate it instead of using it.
No shared data. No utilization patterns. Nothing to show the state when it asks for outcomes.
One specialist covers multiple facilities across the network — the same way rural communities already share fire departments, water systems, and schools.
Access is structured into three clear pathways — curbside for quick guidance, eConsult for documented input, tele-consult for full visits — so providers actually use it.
Every interaction creates a data record. Demand by specialty, volume by facility, response patterns over time. The evidence your RHTP program needs to keep funding.
This isn't new. The VA has run eConsult programs across entire regions for years — one specialist supporting dozens of clinics. Curbside is already happening in every hospital in America; right now it's just phone tag with no documentation. Beam makes both structured, documented, easier to track, and easier for teams to evaluate under their own billing rules. That's what RHTP is trying to fund.
We're not pitching everyone. RHTP works at scale and Beam works the same way — we're looking for programs that are ready to move. Answer a few questions and we'll tell you straight whether this is the right fit and what it could look like for your state.
RHTP is a federal funding program administered by HRSA that helps rural health systems transform care delivery. States and networks can use the funds to build shared infrastructure — including telespecialty access — across multiple rural hospitals and clinics.
Telespecialty platforms qualify as transformation infrastructure. Funds can support implementation, technology, credentialing, and the operational cost of giving rural providers same-day access to board-certified specialists across a network.
Yes. We work with state offices and rural health networks on the technical scope, budget narrative, and outcomes plan for the telespecialty portion of an RHTP application.
Each state designates a lead agency — usually the State Office of Rural Health, Medicaid agency, or hospital association — to coordinate the application and disburse funds to participating facilities.
A typical multi-facility rollout takes 60–120 days from contract to first consult: credentialing the specialist pool, integrating with each site's workflow, and training local providers.
