During this COVID-19 public health emergency, the issue of medical practice viability is a multifaceted issue. Many physicians on the front lines are having to quickly augment their practices to telemedicine platforms while navigating compliance and payment issues. Meanwhile, physicians are having to quickly adapt to operational and business challenges like:
Reduced billings, revenue, and cash flow;
Decreased wages;
Staff shortages and reductions;
Restricted work hours and locations;
Decreased and canceled patient encounters;
Limitations on non-urgent surgeries and procedures; and
Cuts to operating expenses.
From evaluating staffing levels and talking to your CPA about available tax credits, to focusing on working old accounts receivable and rescheduling upcoming patient appointments, these steps provide you with the high-level guidance your practice might need to get headed in the right direction.
Learning Objectives Upon completion of this program, participants should be able to:
Identify the changes a practice can make to help ensure financial and operational viability,
Develop a plan for telehealth platform selection, implementation, and ongoing use,
Increase understanding of financial assistance available,
Apply documentation and billing codes specifically related to COVID-19 and telehealth services, and
Outline the FFCRA regulations.
