About the Course
Introduction
This CLE course will provide an update for healthcare counsel on federal and state telehealth requirements. The panel will address the steps that entities and providers should take to mitigate the risk of noncompliance in this evolving regulatory landscape.
Description
The pandemic accelerated the use of telehealth services, often with relaxed requirements, to address healthcare needs at that time. Many of the standards have reverted or are set to revert to pre-pandemic limits.
From consent to data privacy to reimbursement issues, healthcare providers that have utilized the temporary relaxation of telehealth requirements in recent years should be prepared to comply with the post-pandemic landscape and a return to stricter federal and state regulations.
Counsel for healthcare entities and providers should understand these changes to ensure their clients meet the requirements to practice telehealth.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys provides an update on federal and state telehealth regulation. The panel will address the steps that entities and providers should take to mitigate the risk of noncompliance in this evolving regulatory landscape.
