Resumo
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) defines TeleHealth as services
including office visits/consultations, delivered remotely by an eligible provider, using an
interactive 2-way telecommunications system (audio+video).1
Prior to COVID-19, CMS paid for
TeleHealth restrictively; however, emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in Waiver1135, extending these services to routine healthcare, to keep vulnerable beneficiaries in their
homes, limit community viral spread, and prevent exposure to other patients and staff.1
This
benefit was reciprocated by private insurance carriers. While these changes provided healthcare
facilities an opportunity to rapidly adopt the remote healthcare delivery model, the uptake and
challenges accompanying this practice change are largely unknown.
We conducted a survey to assess the impact of TeleHealth adoption on clinical practice
and GI training programs.
