During this unprecedented healthcare crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare services are rapidly changing to make expanded access to Telehealth services to allow patients the opportunity to receive services from their doctors without having to travel to a healthcare facility and risk potential exposure to the virus.
As a service to our clients and the healthcare providers courageously serving the population, I have created a video detailing what you need to know to provide Telehealth, telephone and remote services to your patients.
The video will also provide you the links to the source documents from CMS and NYS Medicaid and show you where to go to sign up for updates.
When services are provided by an Article 28 facility, the telehealth practitioner must be credentialed and privileged at both the originating and distant sites in accordance with Section 2805-u of PHL. The law can be viewed at the following link: http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/lawssrch.cgi?NVLWO
