Telehealth Policy

Telehealth policy refers to the rules and regulations governing the delivery of healthcare services via digital means, such as video calls, phone consultations, and online messaging. These policies ensure that patients can access medical care remotely, enhancing convenience and efficiency. They cover aspects like patient privacy, reimbursement for virtual visits, and the qualifications of healthcare providers. By establishing guidelines, telehealth policies aim to ensure safe, effective, and equitable access to healthcare for everyone, regardless of their location. This approach has gained prominence, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it allows for continued medical care while minimizing physical contact.
