TELEHEALTH OPTIMIZATION

Telehealth has become a major part of healthcare delivery since the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly two-thirds of US citizens say the pandemic has made them more willing to try virtual care, and three-quarters would consider using it for a routine COVID-19 screening. During the pandemic, physician practices can use telehealth to give their patients much-needed access to care while also increasing patient volume and revenue. And in the new post-COVID reality, many patients may prefer to continue using telehealth.

However, many practices are not familiar with telehealth best practices, which can lead to bottlenecks, workarounds, and decreased revenue.

Telehealth billing

Billing for telehealth services has presented new challenges for healthcare organizations that were not providing remote care before COVID-19. Organizations and providers that were not providing telemedicine services before the pandemic quickly adopted technologies to enable telehealth care.

Powerful reasons to offer telehealth services to your patients

Demand for telehealth services was steadily growing in early 2020. With the onset of COVID-19, patient demand and adoption for telehealth services from their physicians has exploded. Patient demand and the revenue opportunities it presents for physicians are here to stay.
