Hi there,
We are having disagreements in my office about whether or not annual wellness visits can be done via telemedicine. Those in favor are arguing that because of the pandemic, most rules are waived. Those against are saying that since there has been no clear cut "yes" by our payors, that we cannot do them. Also those against argue that you cannot do a wellness visit without a hands-on physical exam. We are a pediatric primary care office so a physical is a very important part of the wellness visit. We do NOT see Medicare patients.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
