A Note to our Customers about COVID-19
We sent out a message last week indicating our employees would begin working remotely if the situation surrounding COVID-19 required it, and we’ve made the decision to do so. We’re still well positioned to support and prevent disruptions for your practice. You can reach our Support team through the normal channels.
Our main focus right now is helping our customers. We’re shifting our priorities to mitigate any issues related to COVID-19, and we’ll be doing everything we can to help our providers and their patients. To that end, we’re focused on enabling the delivery of telemedicine and remote clinical services, and our solutions are fully capable of supporting the billing and documentation for these activities. These solutions are aligned with the recent stimulus packages to enable our practices to continue to see patients and take full advantage of available relief measures. We’ll be monitoring this closely and will deploy updates and guidance as needed. We’ve partnered with telemedicine and remote clinical support vendors to make these services immediately available. See below for more info on our telehealth and remote practice support solutions.
Please be aware that we will be increasing communication with you in the coming days to keep you aware of product-specific information related to COVID-19.
Thanks for working to keep all of us safe and healthy.
