Telehealth: The Wave of the Future for Both Medicine and Enforcement
Before COVID-19 hit our shores, digital health was starting to take hold as the wave of the future for the practice of medicine. An AMA study from 2019 noted that at least 87% of physicians saw an advantage to using these digital tools. "Use of … digital health tools … has increased and the average number of those tools used per physician has also increased. The largest increases were in tele-visits (usage doubled from 14% in 2016 to 28% in 2019) and remote monitoring for improved care."
Since the declaration by the then Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) of the Public Health Emergency [PHE] on Jan. 31, 2020, telehealth has increased exponentially in large measure due to Congress and CMS's expansion of coverage for telehealth services in the Medicare and Medicaid populations. (See, Report to the Congress: Medicare Payment Policy, Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, March 2021, pg. 457.)
