This lecture will discuss how the COVID 19 pandemic has changed the way patients and physicians interact with each other and the changes to the healthcare environment, with telehealth being a priority.
This educational session will be presented in an interview format. The focus will be on cardiovascular patients, as this group is especially vulnerable in this time of COVID 19 due to their underlying heart disease. For the duration of the public health emergency, Medicare covers a selection of services, including regular office visits, device checks, and disease management when performed remotely.
