In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our healthcare system has had multiple policy changes, offering some flexibility to meet the needs of new patients and for those needing continuity in care. One of these changes includes access and coverage of telehealth during the current public health emergency.
The attached resource from the Center for Connected Health Policy https://www.cchpca.org may be helpful as you navigate telehealth coverage changes that have occurred via legislative and regulatory processes for Medicare Fee-for Service, as well as information on Medicaid, private insurers, and recent state policy actions on telehealth policy.
Since the resource is updated frequently, the following link may also be helpful in providing the latest content.
Additional resources on telehealth policy may be found on provider specialty organization websites as well as from the American Medical Association at the following link.
Please consult with your organization’s health care expert to determine what is best for the patients you serve.
