COVID-19 gives telemedicine a larger role in diagnosis. Communicating remotely protects clinicians and patients from transmission of the SAS-CoV-2 virus. The solution to do this was so obvious that the federal government, some states, and health insurers quickly suspended regulations that limited telemedicine. It is also anticipated that the telemedicine boom will outlive the coronavirus. CMS has made many changes to telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will be discussed as well as the 1135 telemedicine waivers.
With all of the recent activity in the area of telemedicine are you sure your hospital is compliant with the regulatory standards? Every hospital and critical access hospital that is doing telemedicine should ensure compliance. Both will be discussed along with the new tag numbers for critical access hospitals in 2020.
Are you familiar with the federal regulation on telemedicine along with the CMS hospital CoP interpretive guidelines? CMS has been issuing quarterly reports of the number of hospital deficiencies and this program will discuss the most problematic standards in the telemedicine interpretive guidelines. The most problematic standard is the failure of the hospital to have the required sections in the contract for telemedicine services. This webinar will cover what provisions need to be in the telemedicine contract.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have conditions of participation (CoP) interpretive guidelines for all hospitals regarding their telemedicine standards. These were based on the federal regulations. The regulation and interpretive guidelines also impact hospitals accredited by the Joint Commission (TJC). In fact, TJC made changes to the crosswalk with the final CMS standards. These impact both large hospitals, small and rural hospitals and critical access hospitals.
The regulations cover the credentialing and privileging process for physicians and practitioners providing telemedicine services. This revised process is less burdensome which means it is now a less financial burden for hospitals. CMS allows hospitals to credentialing by proxy. Hospitals are required to have a written agreement that meets certain criteria. Come learn all about the regulations and interpretive guidelines and the responsibilities of the board, medical staff and hospitals to ensure compliance with the regulations or ensure you are in compliance.
These standards have the effect of being able to bring the most up to date care to the most remote places. Many facilities are investing in equipment to support telemedicine. Make sure your facility is in compliance with the regulations and interpretive guidelines.
