COVID-19: What Healthcare Leaders Need To Know About Telehealth and the CMS Policy Changes MGMA Podcasts

In this special episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we continue our series on COVID-19 and how it’s impacting healthcare professionals and their patients. Experts agree that one of the most promising ways to keep patients and staff safe is through telehealth.

To help explain the recent policy changes by CMS, we're joined by Anders Gilberg, Sr. Vice President of Government Affairs with MGMA.
