Everbridge to Offer Free Telemedicine Webinar

Communications provider Everbridge will offer a free webinar on billing for telemedicine services August 4 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.

The theme of the webinar will be improving patient throughput, satisfaction and reimbursements.

"Modern telemedicine is expanding," the company says, "and physicians need to know the best billing practices. Physicians, hospital administrators and practice managers also know they need telemedicine platforms to work seamlessly with staff schedules and already-established patient communications. With good telemedicine practices you can improve patient throughput and patient satisfaction while ensuring a steady stream of reimbursements."

Ranya Habash, MD, will speak about how her ophthalmology practice uses telemedicine and codes for reimbursement. Topics will include:

• A brief overview of telemedicine;

• What qualifies as billable time;

• How to submit coding for proper reimbursement;

• How to work with your staff to ensure proper billing protocols;

• How to roll out telemedicine as an option to your patients;

• Improving patient throughput and patient satisfaction;

• Modern workflow of telemedicine including integrating with staff schedules and code alerts.

Habash began a successful career as the elected president of the Palm Beach County Ophthalmology Society and was named Young Ophthalmologist of the Year by the Florida Society of Ophthalmology. She served as a board member and president of the FSO, the governing body for ophthalmologists in the state. She has been using telemedicine extensively in her business for years.
