    Not only must one understand CPT codes but also medical reimbursement and the Stark law as it relates to anti kickback to an entity for which they work. Placing telehealth equipment in facilities into a site with the anticipation of receiving referrals could violate these laws (Burgess, 2006). There are so many different points to be aware of that starting, even writing a business plan, for this has made me a well read individual about more medical law and telehealth than I ever thought possible. I have learned that I may not be able to find a lot of the information needed to create long term projections since there are so many differences based on insurance carriers, Medicare and Medicaid. I have learned to better respect the medical billers and coders I work with because this stuff is beyond…

    A joint study conducted by Weill Cornell Medical College and the Primary Care Information Project (PCIP) of the New York City Health Department revealed technical support is crucial for helping physicians demonstrate significant improvements in key quality measures. In fact, researchers found that without substantial technical support providers showed virtually zero improvement two years after implementing a practice EHR. The same study showed physicians achieved measurable improvement after nine months with high-intensity training. Assigning technology mentors to incoming physicians and giving all staff physicians contact information to access technical support from the facility EHR vendor or an in-house IT training team when a problem arises will reduce frustration and bolster…
