From the American College of Physicians: "During the COVID-19 public health emergency, telehealth offers medical practices the ability continue caring for their patients, both those with and those without COVID-19. In order to mitigate exposure of patients who are sick or at-risk due to other conditions, as well as protect the healthcare workers and community, practices are strongly encouraged to use telehealth whenever possible and to consider establishing protocols and procedures for use by practice staff and clinicians. Now in a full state of emergency, many Medicare restrictions related to telehealth have been lifted." 5/1/2020
