Understanding the New and Proposed Medicare Telehealth Policy Changes
Thursday, March 14th at 1:00 pm ET
Telehealth has historically been subject to restrictive criteria for Medicare reimbursement, including specific modalities, geographic locations, and provider types. But the tide is turning, Congress and CMS have recently passed laws and issued new regulations that expand reimbursement for telehealth.
In October, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a final rule for the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, including a new interpretation of Medicare’s restrictions on payment for telehealth. Congress directed CMS to allow Medicare Advantage (MA) plans to offer telehealth as part of the basic benefit package. These are significant changes that have far-reaching effects on the healthcare industry. But how do these rulings affect your organization?
During the webinar, Krista Drobac of the Alliance for Connected Care, will provide clarity and guidance on the new and proposed CMS rules for Medicare telehealth reimbursement, and explain how your organizations can take advantage of these changes.
