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.

We took the time to sift through the many sources of information available and summarized the stimulus packages passed in the last month. We explain what relief is available for independent practices, and what you can do to take advantage of these measures immediately. Click here to read our summary.

With affordable marketing strategies, you’ll connect with patients and effectively communicate how they can receive care throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, CMS is allowing MIPS participants to request reweighting of one or more of the program’s performance categories.
“Online and telephone visits,” according to Dr. Joseph Scherger, “allow for more time than face-to-face visits and can be equally effective.”
With the surge of telemedicine tools in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s crucial for practices to begin acclimating themselves with virtual care initiatives.
Technology, such as Remote Patient Monitoring, allows providers to predict future outbreaks while maintaining care plans for chronic patients.
With virtual care demands expected to continue beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s important for small practices to prepare for ongoing telemedicine needs.
