The COVID-19 pandemic endorsed the importance of virtual care. Telehealth has received acceptance and more confidence from patients not only for counseling but for other medical services too. If you are not offering telehealth services then you might be missing greater opportunities. Offering telehealth services requires little preparation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing your practice for telehealth services will include informing your patients, educating them, preparing your practice\u2019s infrastructure, and understanding telehealth billing requirements. Once your patients know telehealth is available and what they need to have a successful experience, you\u2019ll be ready for virtual visits that feel just like when your patients come into the office.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing Your Practice for Telehealth Services<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Space:<\/strong> Even though you can conduct telehealth visits from almost anywhere, consider having dedicated space for telehealth sessions. At your practice, consider your office or a dedicated exam room for visits. If at home, your home office or another area can work. You need a private and quiet space, so your patients know their privacy is maintained. Make sure that you are getting good internet coverage in the dedicated space.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Correct browser:<\/strong> Many telehealth apps\/software have a specific browser it works best on i.e., Chrome, Firefox, etc. Your office computer is probably already set up. If you will be using a different computer, make sure you have the correct browser. You can find this information in the software\u2019s technical support section.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>High-quality webcam and audio:<\/strong> Your patients need to see you clearly. Most computers come with good built-in webcams. If your computer is not up to par, you can find and set up a high-quality webcam. You need to hear your patients and they need to hear you. Most computers and devices come with good speakers and a microphone.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Light arrangements:<\/strong> If you\u2019ll be in a room with a window, face the window to let the natural light illuminate you. If your desktop computer is next to the wall and you can\u2019t move it easily, close the curtains or blinds and turn on the overhead lights or a lamp.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips During Telehealth Visit<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter where you conduct the appointment, dress professionally. By appearing like you usually would, you\u2019ll help patients feel the visit is a professional interaction.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You never know when you\u2019ll encounter a technical glitch. Be sure to have the support team phone number handy. Immediately call the patient to confirm the technical issue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charge your device before the visit so you don\u2019t lose power in the middle of your conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Close unnecessary programs on your computer or device.\u00a0 Set up notifications on your telehealth app and keep them on prior to and during the visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure your webcam is ready. If on a device, test it by initiating a video call with someone. If on a computer, find your webcam program in the control panel and test it. Make sure you can see them eye to eye, and the lighting is good.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test your speakers and mic before the visit begins. You can test your audio by opening a voice recording program and saying a few words and your speakers by opening your favorite music app.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read the patient\u2019s complaint and history to familiarize yourself before the visit. Have their chart handy, either by having the EHR pulled up or a paper chart for reference.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a good flow to your in-office visits. Though you won\u2019t be able to do a physical exam, conduct the visit like a face-to-face encounter. Take a thorough history, ask good questions, and document the way you normally would.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look into the camera so your patient feels like you\u2019re engaging with them. Let them know when you take notes or look something up so they don\u2019t think you\u2019re not paying attention. You must communicate what you\u2019re doing because they can\u2019t see you the same way during telehealth visits.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explain to patients what they need to do next, whether it\u2019s picking up a prescription or scheduling another appointment. You can have them repeat the instructions back to you, so you\u2019re sure they understand. Take this opportunity to ask for feedback about the telehealth visit. You can use what they say to improve future visits.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let Your Patients Know<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are starting to offer telehealth services, let your patients know on priority. There are several ways to spread the word quickly. Following are a few tips:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change your voicemail message. Update your email signature that says that you\u2019re now offering telehealth visits and how to schedule one.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Update website banner with schedule button. Use a bright color to attract attention. Consider adding a popup in case visitors don\u2019t notice the banner.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Update your social media profiles to let patients know about the telehealth option. Pin the post so patients see the information first when they visit your social media pages.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use your patient\u2019s database to send an email. Message patients outlining the process of scheduling a telehealth visit and its benefits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve gotten the word out and patients are scheduling telehealth visits, you can help them prepare for the virtual visit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand Telehealth Billing Requirements<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the COVID-19 pandemic, CMS released new sets of guidelines for telehealth billing. Even though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/\">CMS<\/a> encouraged more and more use of telehealth, it doesn\u2019t mean your every telehealth visit will get paid. Before starting to offer telehealth services, understand your payers, study their telehealth reimbursement policies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understand what is considered a telehealth visit, which procedures are covered, correct modifiers and procedure codes, and documentation requirements. Every payer has a unique set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalbillersandcoders.com\/specialty-guideline.aspx\">guidelines and reimbursement policies<\/a> for telehealth services, so you also have to train your billing staff on telehealth billing and coding.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cmp cmp-text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12\">\n<div class=\"adl-rte-wrapper\">\n<h3>Using Telehealth Billing Care for Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the telehealth services are paid at the same rate as in-person visits, you have to use accurate CPT codes and modifiers, it must be supported with documentation.
