The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has anticipated electronic communication between providers and patients as they implement the Quality Payment Program under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). However, many providers are unaware of the regulations and professional guidelines related to email communication between physicians and patients. This webinar will offer an overview of the regulatory landscape and provide tips on how to integrate email best practices at the physician office level. Join Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG) Project Manager, Emily Melbourn, BS, to gain a foundational understanding of how to undertake electronic communication with patients that is aligned with federal and professional standards.

- Identify the federal regulations governing electronic communication between physicians and patients.
