On Thursday, October 13th from 12-1:30pm, the Coalition held its yearly Legislative/Policy briefing. In addition to covering recently adopted Medi-Cal policies, the briefing will provide context on how state policy has evolved over the years, remaining gaps between commercial and Medi-Cal patients, other consumer issues, as well comparisons in regard to other state and federal policy developments. A variety of issues such as those related to cross-state licensure and impacts of the recent Supreme Court ruling on abortion will be discussed by expert panelists with a history of telehealth engagement at both the state and federal levels.
Over two and a half years into the pandemic, a series of telehealth policy changes have been made on both the federal and state levels that will impact the ability of Californians to receive care through technology, particularly the senior population. Will these changes enable or impede seniors’ ability to access needed health services or does more need to be done? Join the California Telehealth Policy Coalition and an expert panel to discuss efforts in the state and what else may be needed to ensure seniors are not left behind.
Value-based care (VBC) models seek to reimburse providers according to the quality of care they provide rather than based upon the quantity of services provided to patients.
Join the California Telehealth Policy Coalition and its panel participants to better understand the intersection between value-based care (VBC) payment models and telehealth. Participants will look at how telehealth and VBC combined reinforce each’s individual potential to improve patient access to care and health outcomes while reducing overall costs. Meanwhile, provider and payer perspectives will help highlight various VBC payment models, how VBC can give providers the flexibility to fully integrate telehealth into clinical practice, the role of public policy in those processes, and related challenges and opportunities moving forward.
