From Apa Div 42: Coronavirus, Telehealth, And Reimbursement


See below for an update from APA Division 42 and their efforts to answer questions about telehealth reimbursement.

President, Indiana Psychological Association

Subject: [DIV42] Coronavirus, telehealth, and reimbursement

We in APA Practice understand the importance and urgency of the concerns about coronavirus for practice management, telehealth, access, and reimbursement.  Our immediate strategies are three-fold: (a) telehealth/reimbursement advocacy, (b) resources for practice management & telehealth, and (c) ethical, compliance, & risk-management considerations.     

We are currently working to confirm with CMS the specific policy changes regarding telehealth within the Medicare program so that APA can provide detailed advice to practitioners.   

Our LRA attorneys have reached out to the largest national payors (Cigna, Optum, Anthem, etc.) to advocate for favorable telehealth policies.  We are also organizing state-by-state insurance advocacy resources that you and your state associations can use, as well as additional information and resources for your practice.  

There will be more to come, soon.
