Barriers to Care Removed, but State Obstacles Still in Place: The Future of Telemedicine in Washington State

First few Article Sentences

In early May of this year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") removed a giant obstacle in provision of telemedicine services. Recognizing that its rules and regulations regarding telemedicine services were "duplicative and burdensome,"1 CMS amended its Conditions of Participation ("CoPs"), implementing a new credentialing and privileging process for physicians and practitioners providing telemedicine services. But what these changes mean for practitioners and medical facilities in Washington is yet to be seen.
