Description

In April of 2019, the Department of Justice announced one of the largest health care fraud busts in history which involved telemedicine services. The total dollar loss to the government was $1.2 Billion and resulted in charges brought against 24 individuals, including marketing executives.

Telehealth services are more common in healthcare as more doctors use telemedicine to improve patient care and more insurers now cover telehealth. Coding and billing for telehealth can still be tricky as Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers have different coverage rules.

However, along with increased use and reimbursement often comes increased compliance risk. This webinar will cover compliance risk associated with telemedicine and included in these risk are PHI/HIPAA issues, reimbursement requirements, qualified origination sites and reception sites and examples of state laws addressing these services.
