OIG issues a policy statement and a factsheet regarding telehealth cost-sharing during the COVID-19 outbreak.
This is an important piece of the puzzle since the OIG needed to be on the same page with CMS on regulations to keep physicians out of hot water if they choose to waive patient portion for telemedicine.
A report and four enforcement actions are also posted. As always, you can use the links provided to go directly to the new material.
