COVID-19 is Driving Telehealth Adoption: Understand the New Opportunities

The health care industry is increasingly turning to telehealth to provide health care services during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the federal government is quickly adapting to the critical need for these services. The recently passed CARES Act and the subsequent CMS Interim Final Rule includes a number of telehealth provisions, relaxing requirements and enabling greater use of and reimbursement for telehealth, audio-only calls, virtual visits, and remote patient monitoring. Some states have also changed requirements during the emergency for increased use of telehealth and remote care. This webinar will discuss the impact of these changes on telehealth services, including Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, fraud and abuse considerations, state licensure and privacy/HIPAA considerations.
