Libby Baney Shares Thoughts on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Telehealth Proposal with Bloomberg Government

Government and regulatory affairs partner Libby Baney spoke with Bloomberg Government in article “HHS Telehealth Proposal Prompts Call for Congressional Extension.” 

The proposal aims to continue certain flexibilities that allow physicians to bill Medicare for services that they provide virtually. This includes continuations of waivers that allow doctors to virtually supervise resident physicians and certain practitioners to provide virtual direct supervision to auxiliary personnel.

The proposed rule is a step forward, but congressional action is necessary to broadly and permanently secure patients’ access to telehealth, said Baney.
