Oct 20, 2021 2:15pm ‐ Oct 20, 2021 3:30pm

Identification: IWB3

The COVID pandemic is not quite over and experts believe healthcare delivery will hereafter be a combination of in person and virtual visits. Is your health center compliant with current statutes? Is your technology meeting all security requirements? Is your RCM/billing and clinical team on the same page about what is billable during the leniency afforded by the 1135 Waiver and what to know once it has expired? Does your team understand credentialing issues that exist if delivering care “over the border” in a contiguous state (or any other state) in which your provider/health center is not licensed or insured? Attend this session to learn what you need to know to maximize reimbursement and mitigate legal entanglement from non-compliance.  
Learning Objectives:
  • Understand the 1135 Waiver as it pertains to health centers and when it expires.
  • Know which telehealth services are permanent versus temporary.
  • Learn the difference between telephone-only evaluation and management (E&M) versus telehealth services requiring audio AND visual technology.
