Complying with telehealth regulations is a nightmare.

Sure, the rules were relaxed due to the pandemic, but the constant changes to the requirements make it feel impossible to keep up. Is your technology adequate?

Are you using an allowable site location? Are there restrictions for NPPs? What if patients are across state lines?

The questions go on and on and failing to comply really is not an option.

CMS has made it very clear that they expect you to correctly provide telehealth services (regardless of the changes). If not, they’ve implemented financial penalties for violations at 3-times the normal rate AND have added extra monetary fines between $11,665 – $23,331 for each claim deemed false.

The federal government is focusing on your compliance with telehealth regulations. There are actions you can take right now to ensure you follow the rules and cut through the confusion of ever-changing rules and requirements.

Regulatory expert and healthcare attorney, Anne Brendel, Esq., can show you how. Anne is presenting a session that will walk you through how to comply with some of the most confusing aspects of telehealth services (i.e. licensure requirements, state regulations, and supervisory rules for your NPPs).

Learning Objectives:-

  • Head off penalties related to exceptions to the general telehealth licensure requirements
  • Learn the five conditions to qualify for Medicare reimbursement of telehealth services
  • Ensure compliance with telehealth rules across state lines
  • Assess technological barriers and find compliant workarounds
  • Safeguard your practice against an audit of your telehealth services
  • Use the DEA’s Public Emergency Exception for Telemedicine Prescribing of Controlled Substances
  • Pin down supervisory rules for non-physician practitioners (NPPs)
  • Limit Store-and-Forward law missteps to stave off fines
  • Comply with CMS qualifying originating site requirements
  • Avoid technology screwups from leading to massive violation penalties
  • Engage a management services organization (MSO) without worrying about getting fined
  • Stop state PC model limitations from getting you audited
  • And so much more…

With a surge in telehealth service of 11,000% since the pandemic began, CMS fraud enforcement officers are watching closer than ever.  Also, numerous states have made permanent changes to their telehealth regulations regarding when, how, and who can offer these services – so even more eyes are on you.

You can get the expert advice you need to ensure your telehealth services are being offered compliantly, and that you are paid appropriately (without being hit with violation penalties).

This upcoming, expert-led online training will provide you with a complete roadmap to ensure your office is up to date with all existing telehealth rules.

This is the only way to safeguard your office from costly triple damage telehealth violations.
