More and more patients are choosing providers based on the availability of telemedicine services. But BEWARE. Medicare, private payers, and state laws and regulations regarding scope of licensure can lead to violations that result in serious punishments or penalties, fines and practice prohibitions.
However, you and your patients CAN benefit from telemedicine services without violation concerns by understanding exactly what services can be offered by whom within your practice. This is where healthcare attorney, Bradley S. Davidsen, JD, can help. During his 90-minute online telemedicine workshop, you’ll gain the necessary skills to maximize your telemedicine profit without crossing violation boundaries.
Here are just a few of the actionable, step-by-step telemedicine compliance tactics you’ll receive by taking advantage of this 90-minute online training:
