Many of our insureds have inquired whether practicing telemedicine will affect their Doctors Direct insurance coverage.
In line with recent relaxed guidelines published by the federal authorities for the COVID-19 emergency (see https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/emergency-preparedness/notification-enforcement-discretion-telehealth/index.html), care may be provided through the use of telemedicine without any change in premium, provided that all relevant state and federal guidelines regarding the use of telemedicine are complied with.
Please feel free to call our risk management personnel at (888) 217-2779 if you have any questions.
