This session will be of great interest to health care administrators\, government affairs teams\, physicians and clinical staff across many organizations. \n\nRegistration is complimentary but required to attend.\n\nShould you have any questions or need further details\, please contact Susan N.

These COVID-era flexibilities were to expire at the end of the COVID public health emergency\, but fortunately\, Congress extended them twice\, and they are now about to expire on January 1\, 2025. There are hopes that Congress will pass an extension so America’s health care systems can continue to offer a broad range of health care via telehealth to keep Medicare-insured citizens healthy. If Congress does not act before January 1\, providers will be limited on how they can use telehealth for Medicare patients. \nThe Kentucky Telehealth Summit Planning team invites you to participate in a webinar on December 11 to discuss the most up-to-date information regarding the legal and regulatory status. \n\nRegistration URL:https://www.kyha.com/event/kentucky-rural-telehealth-summit-webinar-medicare-patients-use-of-telehealth-could-be-significantly-limited-after-1-1-25/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.kyha.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/ky-rural-telehealth-summit.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Kentucky/Louisville:20241211T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Kentucky/Louisville:20241211T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T232654 CREATED:20241127T170744Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241127T170822Z UID:27224-1733918400-1733922000@www.kyha.com SUMMARY:Webinar: A Deep-Dive Into APCM DESCRIPTION:The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’) new program\, Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM)\, gives Medicare patients personalized\, digital care between office visits\, and could increase your practice’s reimbursements.
