  • 1.  Medicare Beneficiaries and Telehealth visits

    With the expiration of telehealth waivers on Sept 30th and providers no  longer being reimbursed for telehealth visits to Medicare beneficiaries in their homes, reaching out to see what other organizations are doing to continue to provide these services

    We are working with our compliance team and have been instructed to get an ABN signed prior to a telehealth visit.  Are you having beneficiaries sign ABN and/or how do you obtain signature?

    Look forward to hearing what others are doing!

    Hi - 

    we are having abn's signed in the event that the waiver does not back date if it is renewed. We are doing this through docusign or redcap depending upon what the practice has access to. we are also converting from telehealth to in person where feasible.

    Thanks Hallie.  We are similar in converting to in person when possible as well.  We are struggling with compliance and getting them signed electronically.  We have asked about DocuSign but have not been able to utilize this method.  I will look in to redcap.
