Telemedicine

Home » Public Policy » Telemedicine

Telemedicine

Medicare reimbursement policies have not kept pace with doctor-patient encounters occurring outside of a traditional care setting. Legal and regulatory barriers affect the ability of providers to initiate or expand their telehealth services. Reimbursement must support providers’ use of the technology they deem best fit to achieve better patient outcomes. A national dialogue must take place concerning the patchwork of state laws and licensure barriers impeding the expansion of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring.

CHIME Top Recommendation to Policymakers

  • Create a more flexible reimbursement policy around the use of telehealth such that Medicare pays providers for using it and supports patient care when and where they need it
