The National Public Health Emergency created by COVID-19 has resulted in a titanic shift around the use and reimbursement of virtual/remote technologies technologies to diagnose and treat patients. Changes to laws and regulations coming from Congress, CMS, OIG, and FDA are rapid-fire and ever-evolving, raising a host of questions about how to implement a compliant virtual care program quickly and effectively.
In this webinar, Carrie Nixon and Kaitlyn O’Connor of Nixon Law Group will explain the most recent regulatory and reimbursement changes around the Remote Patient Monitoring, Telehealth, e-Visit, and Virtual Check-in CPT codes, and what those changes mean from a practical perspective. Jody Tropeano of HLTH will join them for a discussion of how these changes are likely to impact investment in and transformation of healthcare delivery during the Public Health Emergency and well beyond.
