Important Questions re: Telehealth

September 1, 2020

Given the SOMH Telehealth Administrative Simplification guidance issued last month, and the continuing guidance from OASAS that outlines the steps a provider must take in order to receive approval to offer telehealth services (after the COVID crisis), the NYS Council is considering developing templates for the various Policies and Procedures our members need to submit to obtain telehealth approvals for Article 31, Article 32-822 and/or CFTSS programs and services. 

Please help us to ascertain whether the majority of our members are in need of Policies and Procedures templates by answering the following questions at your earliest convenience:

1)  Would your agency benefit from access to specific Policy and Procedure templates pertaining to your Article 31 Outpatient Clinic telehealth application?  

2)  Would your agency benefit from access to specific Policy and Procedure templates pertaining to your Article 32 – Part 822 Outpatient Clinic telehealth application?

3)  Would your agency benefit from access to specific Policy and Procedure templates pertaining to your CFTSS telehealth application?

Please enter your answers in red ink next to each question and send back to us asap?
