Insights on Med&igrave;care updates for Telemedicine Regulations in 2018
Telemedicine services have been seeing a continuous growth both in terms of
volume and breadth of coverage. Hospitals large and small participate in
telemedicine services although in different capacities. Making certain that
all the rules and regulations are faithfully followed can be challenging.

 Most of the guidance for telemedicine or telehealth services comes from
the Med&igrave;care program. However, changes in the guidance occur almost
every year. While the Med&igrave;care program has many rules and
regulations in this area, pr&igrave;vate third-p&agrave;rty payers tend to
be more liberal in reimbursing for these types of services. The recently
enacted 21st Century Cures Act directs CMS to expand telemedicine services.
R&egrave;mote robotic surg&egrave;ry is on the horizon. Hospitals, clinics
and phys&igrave;cian must regularly update policies and procedures in this
area to keep current as the technology continues to outstrip payment and
compliance issues.

 Join this session, where healthcare consultant Duane C. Abbey, will
provide an overview of the general concept of how telemedicine works. Duane
will discuss how you can assess future changes for telemedicine,
particularly with Med&igrave;care. Read more
