Forward(Recorded Training) Telehealth Looking Forward: Payment and Financial Considerations
This course is closed to new enrollments.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, health centers have experienced a rapid expansion of telehealth. From full visits, to “virtual check-ins,” to care management services that rely heavily on technology, telehealth has impacted patient service delivery. Focusing on Medicare/Medicaid payments, this training will examine the most prominent forms of telehealth along with the policy issues relevant to the financial aspects of telehealth services, including scope of project under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and coverage under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
As technology requirements evolve, including the prevalence of audio-only telehealth services during the pandemic, health centers have experienced and can expect Medicare/Medicaid coverage and payment issues associated with the different technologies. This program will explore and explain the waivers and flexibilities that Medicare and State Medicaid programs have used to facilitate telehealth during the telehealth pandemic, and address what we know so far about what telehealth may look like in the Medicare and Medicaid programs after the COVID-19 public health emergency is over. Additionally, relevant legal considerations in using vendors to furnish telehealth or care management services will be discussed.
