What Is the Role of Telemedicine in Pediatric Payments?
Telemedicine has become increasingly important in pediatric care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It offers several benefits:
- Increased access: Telemedicine can help reach families in rural or underserved areas who may have difficulty accessing traditional in-person care. - Cost-effectiveness: Virtual visits can reduce costs associated with travel and time off work for parents. - Reimbursement: Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, now provide reimbursement for telemedicine services, though the rates and covered services can vary.
