 The COVID-19 Telehealth Program

The Program will provide immediate support to eligible health care providers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by fully funding their telecommunications services, information services, and devices necessary to provide critical connected care services until the program’s funds have been expended or the COVID-19 pandemic has ended.​

TMA has a great chart to help answer your telehealth questions. Here is the link…https://www.texmed.org/uploadedFiles/Current/2016_Practice_Help/Health_Information_Technology/Telemedicine/Telemedicine%20Quick%20Reference%20Chart%20for%20Payers.pdf

From MGMA Community:

Subject: Telehealth Resources

Hi everyone, we use Bluestream health for our interpretation services. In light of the current situation around COVID-19 they have released a free, HIPAA compliant telehealth portal for anyone to use, no cost or contracts. I am not trying to market anything but sharing resources. I shared this with our local community and they recommended I share it here in case anyone needs it.
The link is here www.bluestreamhealth.com/rapid-response/…

Sorry if I violated any rules, I am not affiliated with this company at all just sharing good info.

Good luck to everyone!

Today the Governor has lifted a few more regulations around telehealth. Here is the link- https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-waives-regulations-expands-telehealth-options

This is what is in the link –

Governor Greg Abbott has temporarily waived a series of regulations to lift certain telehealth restrictions and expand telehealth options as Texas responds to COVID-19. These waivers will allow a smart phone or any audio-visual, real-time, or two-way interactive communication system to qualify as a telecommunications technology that can be used to provide certain telehealth services. These waivers apply to speech-language pathologists and audiologists, behavior analysts, hearing instrument fitters and dispensers, and dyslexia therapists and practitioners.

Part B News shared an article titled ” Telehealth expands: Find the full list of extra codes for COVID-19 crisis”. This article is dated April 6th. Thought it might be useful. Find it in the InK files.

The link below will take you to a spreadsheet I found on MGMA. It covers the nation so more information than you may need. However, POET is in hopes of creating a pared down version using this format. Meanwhile hopefully this will be helpful to all of you until we have ours completed.
