6 AMERICAN TELEMEDICINE ASSOCIATION 2007 Federal Policy Priorities Telemedicine: Bringing medical care to people when and where they need it. Federal policy should be changed to allow consumers, patients and health care institutions to realize the benefits of telemedicine. Expand Medicare Reimbursement for Medical Services Congress should extend Medicare reimbursement for remote medical and health services for a) all remaining institutions eligible to participate in Medicare but not currently eligible to be reimbursed for telemedicine/telehealth services; b) all remaining medical services currently covered under the CPT procedure codes but not eligible to be reimbursed when provided via telemedicine/telehealth; and c) medical services that are provided using store-and-forward technology. Congress and CMS should encourage the use of home telehealth as a recognized and reimbursable component in the provision of home care under Medicare s Prospective Payment System (PPS), and should provide reimbursement for the costs of deploying devices and related technology. Medicare should change its reimbursement rules to allow existing patients to have vital signs monitored remotely instead of traveling to the provider s office. Expand Support for Universal Services and Encourage Interconnections of Remote Healthcare Networks All carriers of telecommunications services, regardless of mode of delivery, should contribute to the Federal Universal Service Fund. The current rural health program should be reworked to simplify the application and administrative process and should support the deployment of wireless networks within all eligible health facilities as a cost-effective approach to expand access to broadband services to the desktop of each physician and nurse. Any such changes should protect the support being provided to current approved facilities. Federal support of network bridging between and among the 200 telemedicine networks that exist in the U.S. will serve as an important component in expanding healthcare services, improving medical education and collaboration, and functioning as a foundation for the development of reach-back networks. Promote Health Information Technology Programs and their Coordination with Telemedicine Legislation that provides financial support for increased utilization of interoperable information services and technologies by healthcare institutions, especially the development and implementation of system-wide electronic records, must continue to be introduced and realized. Networks already established for the delivery of remote healthcare should be used to facilitate the development of regional technology applications. Resolve Legal Barriers to Telemedicine Congress and the administration should work through such groups as the National Governors Association (NGA), National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) to craft an interstate agreement that will encourage medical licensure cooperation among states; facilitate the exchange of information regarding investigations and adverse actions among states; promote compliance with laws governing the practice of medicine in each state; and invest states with the authority to hold physicians accountable for meeting all state practice laws. The Secretary should develop financial assistance to encour- 6 A T A 2007 G A YLORD OPRYLAND, NASHVILLE

7 AMERICAN TELEMEDICINE ASSOCIATION 2007 Federal Policy Priorities Telemedicine: Bringing medical care to people when and where they need it. age the development of the accord and financial and regulatory incentives that would be made available for each state that adopts the agreement. The efforts of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to implement a nationwide set of mutual recognition laws within an interstate compact for the practice of nursing using telemedicine also should be supported. State requirements to mandate payments for telemedicine services should be accompanied with requirements that insurance carriers provide malpractice coverage for those same services, and no federal or state laws should prohibit the ability of telemedicine programs to provide prescription drugs to patients. Institutionalize the Use of Telemedicine for Emergency Preparedness and Response Public policy should support the use of telemedicine to help prepare and respond to large emergencies, whether caused by natural disaster or terrorist act. Such telecommunications connections can provide instant access to resources at the nation s tertiary care medical centers regardless of location. Federal emergency management regulations should be amended to integrate the practice of telemedicine within Federal Disaster Medical Assistance Teams. Support Federal Programs and Initiatives that Advance the Deployment of Telemedicine Technology and Services The advancement of programs and technologies that improve patient outcomes, add efficiency to health systems, and help to alleviate the disparity in health care resources can be accomplished through leveraging appropriate public resources supporting telemedicine. Full funding for such programs is vital as the nation s health care system copes with a crisis of cost and quality.

8 AMERICAN TELEMEDICINE ASSOCIATION Telemedicine Standards & Guidelines Initiative Telemedicine practice guidelines, standards and quality assurance programs improve patient care and safety and accelerate the adoption of uniform practices in the delivery of remote medical care. ATA is working in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop standards and guidelines and to establish quality assurance measures for the delivery of healthcare using telecommunications technology. ATA s Standards and Guidelines Committee sets overall policy for the initiative and is developing a set of common terms and definitions as well as an overall framework and work plan to be followed by work groups to develop standards and guidelines in specialty areas. The Initiative includes two components: Development of standards and guidelines for specific practice areas including technical, clinical and administrative aspects, and Education, training and recognition to provide assurance that guidelines are understood and are being incorporated into healthcare practices. Work groups are composed of experts from clinical institutions, the private sector, government and other related stakeholder organizations. Representation from members of ATA s Special Interest Groups, relevant medical societies, technology groups and the international community is critical to the success of this effort. Diabetic Retinopathy Practice Guidelines for telemedicine have already been developed and published. Currently, a Teledermatology Work Group is partnering with members of the American Academy of Dermatology and others to develop a set of standards and guidelines for this specialty area. ATA s initiative will lead to certification, credentialing and other quality assurance measures so that payers, consumers and regulators will recognize telemedicine s full potential to expand access to care and reduce costs while delivering high-quality care to people everywhere.
