Congress finally getting serious about telemedicine, but are CDOs ready?

The latest‘doc fix’ bill, H.R. 1470, was introduced last week.  Though it has quite a ways to go before it’s sent to conference or passed, the bill has some  pretty nice language for telemedicine and care coordination enthusiasts. Though it’s probably less than I would like, Section 4 (Encouraging  Care Management for Individuals with Chronic Care Needs) is a great start. The telehealth language is pretty general but I like how it is making sure that telemedicine isn’t precluded from being reimbursed.
