CCHP’s November Newsletter is here! This month’s topics include: CMS Releases Final Calendar Year (CY) 2023 Physician Fee Schedule; JAMA Article on a Vision of Medicare Coverage for Emerging Technologies; HEDIS Measure Study; Billing Telebehavioral Health HHS Resource; OIG Examines Home Health Agency COVID Response, Including Telehealth; Federal Public Health Emergency Extended; Latest Policy Developments in CCHP’s Telehealth Policy Finder and Policy Trends Map; In case you missed it:  The Fall 2022 50-State Report is Here!; Complex Medicaid Requirements Creates Barrier for Telehealth. 

Last month, the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) released a comprehensive report on The Future of Telehealth After COVID-19. The report is based upon an analysis of Medicare Telehealth Utilization and Spending Impacts 2019-2021, stakeholder input and interviews, a literature review, and a national consumer survey.

Last week’s latest update to CCHP’s Telehealth Policy Finder included a brand-new feature: a category specifically for federally qualified health centers’ (FQHC) Medicaid fee-for-service policies.  Funded by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) through funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the new section includes the many unique rules that apply to FQHCs that sometimes effect their ability to utilize telehealth.
