Telehealth visits:  what’s required?
The provider must use an interactive audio and video telecommunications system that permits real-time communication between the distant site and the patient at home.  
​

Distant site practitioners and clinicians who can furnish and get reimbursement for covered telehealth services (check your State Law as this is subject to State Law) may include the following:
  • Physicians
  • nurse practitioners
  • physician assistants
  • nurse midwives
  • certified nurse anesthetists
  • clinical psychologists
  • clinical social workers
  • registered dietitians
  • and nutrition professionals.
