NC Medicaid increasing eligible technology, provider types for telemedicine to address COVID-19
Telehealth refers broadly to electronic and telecommunications technologies and services used to provide care and services at a distance. Telehealth encompasses a range of practices, including telemedicine and telepsychiatry, which use two-way, real-time interactive audio and video between provider and patient to deliver health care and behavioral health services, respectively. Virtual patient communication is another part of telehealth used to provide evaluation and consultation between provider and patient or between different providers.
