Treat Acute Eye Problems With
Telemedicine Thanks To This Guide
You can provide
consultations and guidance
through telemedicine for
some patients who have
acute eye problems.
Dr Tom Cheezum of
Tidewater Optometric
Consulting Services is a
leading authority on telehealth
billing and coding.
Many local optometrists are
having patients cancel
appointments out of fear of
the current coronavirus
outbreak.
Using CPT codes for
telemedicine, clients may
still be able to provide care
for patients.
Primary eye care physicians
are a critical part of the public
health solution, and it's
important to continue their
services.
Telemedicine is an effective
way to provide care in some
situations where patients
develop eye infections or other
acute problems.
There are some important
considerations to adhere to,
and these are covered in
the new guide.
The service must be
provided through a
HIPAA-compliant secure
platform.
Skype, FaceTime,
WhatsApp, and email are
not HIPAA compliant.
It's acceptable to use
secure video through an
EHR patient portal, Zoom,
or Doxy.me.
