Telehealth offers many new opportunities for practices, including convenience, accessibility, and cost savings. But it also comes with risks that must be addressed proactively. Learn about the challenges in virtual care and how to overcome them here. 👩⚕️
"Telehealth is inherently different from traditional face-to-face visits and brings a new set of liabilities, including data privacy concerns, potential misdiagnosis, technical failures, and the complexity of obtaining proper patient consent. These challenges are compounded by the rise in cyberattacks targeting telehealth platforms. Practices that embrace telehealth need to ensure their risk management strategies are as forward-thinking as their service offerings."

If you're a pediatrician trying to decide whether to use this company for billing services (IPMSO). DON'T. They do not know at all what they're doing and they are nonresponsive to you and to your patients. They didn't even understand that newborns are covered under their mother's medical insurance for the first 30 days after being born and claimed that a newborn baby did not have medical insurance. As a company that touts themselves as experts in medical billing, it's rather grossly negligent that they don't understand that's how insurance works. They don't provide any customer service to you or your patients. They don't provide a telephone number for patients to call and don't answer emails. STAY FAR FAR AWAY from this company. The fact that they don’t even bother responding to comments shows the level of customer service they provide - which is none.
As the measles outbreak grows, it's important that physicians promote vaccines for prevention by building trust with patients. Learn more here! 👩⚕️
"When a child gets a shot against a disease, some vaccines, such as the measles vaccine, appear to offer protection for life. Even if antibodies wane, the body can have a memory immune response that develops rapidly to protect against measles, Moss said."
