The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) released its finalized telehealth policy update to its Medi-Cal fee-for-service program. The majority of the changes occurred in fee-for-service and the other manuals make references back to that policy.  The intent of the Department for the updates was to increase flexibility for the use of telehealth in Medi-Cal and clarify certain policies.  CCHP has created a fact sheet that summarizes these changes.

CMS released their final rules for changes to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans and how they may treat telehealth-delivered services in basic coverage plans.  This fact sheet summarizes those changes related to telehealth.

CCHP created this infographic summarizing how the telehealth changes in Medicare CY 2019 impact FQHC/RHCs.

This concise summary outlines the November 2012 Institute of Medicine (IOM)’s Telehealth Workshop Report. Though CCHP prepared this fact sheet, CCHP is not affiliated with IOM.

This first edition of CCHP’s “Cost Efficiency Studies” examines telehealth-related studies, pilot projects, and programs that evaluate telehealth’s cost effectiveness and efficiencies when used in health care settings. Studies conducted in the United States and published between 2005 and 2013 that highlight telehealth’s cost savings were included in the chart. Each entry includes a summary of the study, key findings, and important features about the study design.
