1 hour
Join Gabrielle Juliano-Villani, LCSW (Medicare Consulting for Therapists) and Liath Dalton (Director of Person Centered Tech) as they walk you through what’s changing, what isn’t, and how to stay confident and compliant at the intersections of Medicare, Teletherapy, and HIPAA in practice.
Free On-demand Info Session
You’ve probably seen the headlines about Medicare’s “telehealth cliff.” The truth is more nuanced — and less alarming — but still important for your practice. Teletherapy for behavioral health isn’t disappearing, but Medicare’s rules around in-person visits and reimbursement are [potentially] shifting and in a state of limbo.
And here’s the catch: Congress may extend the current flexibilities, may let them expire, or may leave us in limbo. That uncertainty leaves many clinicians wondering: What do I actually need to do right now?
This free clinician-focused info session and Q&A is designed to cut through the noise and give you practical steps you can use immediately — no matter what happens in Congress.
You’ll leave with clarity on:
- What the [potential] new in-person visit rules means for both established and new Medicare teletherapy clients
- Which clients are exempt (including those with mobility barriers, clinical contraindications, or substance use treatment) and how to document it
- How the rules affect dual-eligible clients (Medicare + Medicaid) and what you need to know if you participate in both systems
- HIPAA compliance requirements alongside Medicare/Medicaid participation — what’s really required, and what keeps you sustainable
- Practical strategies to maintain continuity of care and client trust, even in times of policy change
- How to navigate your options if you’re considering enrolling as a Medicare provider — or if you’re weighing opting out
- Documentation and policy updates that make sure your practice is ready for any outcome.
