News
- AOTA Statement on Justice and Systemic Racism
- July 23, 2020: Great news on the Legislative Front!! Governor Sununu signed HB1623 into law on Monday which makes the emergency order allowing and reimbursing telehealth permanent law. This means 2 things: 1. Occupational Therapists are allowed to perform and bill for telehealth services (Allied Health Professionals) and 2. Medicaid and private insurances registered in the state of NH need to reimburse telehealth at the same rate as in person services. What this does not include is Medicare and out of state insurances. It is always good practice to verify insurance benefits prior to rendering services.
- Medicare is a federal program and currently does cover telehealth but this is not a permanent change. Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan have signed a bipartian letter that calls for making these changes permanent. This is the power of legislation!
- If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]
