Program description:
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, telehealth offers medical practices the ability to continue caring for their patients, regardless of whether they have been exposed to the novel coronavirus. In order to mitigate exposure of patients who are sick or at-risk due to other conditions, as well to as protect health care workers and the community, practices are strongly encouraged to use telehealth whenever possible and to consider establishing protocols and procedures for use by practice staff and clinicians. Now, in a full state of emergency, many Medicare restrictions related to telehealth have been lifted. This webinar will provide specific answers to your questions regarding billing and coding for these services.
Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Outline any changes that have occurred since last week
- Clarify telehealth guidance for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) and Rural Health Centers (RHC)
- Identify the steps for correcting and resubmitting incorrect claims
- Understand Advanced Payment Options
- Share best practices utilized in other physician offices
