Course Description

Want to know exactly how you'll get paid? From Medicare billing codes to collecting legitimate cash payments online, this practical course will review relevant telehealth, telemedicine and telemental health reimbursement law and proper procedures for practitioners and consultants. Definitions are given to help the practitioner understand terms and their meaning. Resource centers are identified so as to facilitate the practitioner's obtaining new information from various federal and state groups who exist to help us get started with telehealth.

For those seeking to increase the number of private payors who reimburse for remote telemental health care, practical suggestions and guidance is also provided.

A range of support documentation and materials are included to effectively equip you to maximize reimbursement for telemental health care. Join us yoday and learn how to start successfully tapping into new revenue streams for your practice!
