DIAMOND SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

Headquartered at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance (SCTA) is a statewide collaborative uniting health systems, primary and specialty care providers, state agencies, and mission-driven partner organizations to expand access to high-quality care through telehealth. Guided by a strategic focus on rural and underserved communities, the SCTA supports a network of more than 1,074 care sites across South Carolina, reaching patients in all 46 counties and supporting over 1.21 million telehealth interactions each year.

TELEHEALTH POLICY UPDATE

This month, the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) answered a common question about documentation of the patient's location. According to CCHP, "There is no explicit, universal Medicare requirement that providers must document the patient’s state in the medical record for every telehealth visit."
