Bulletin MED228 expands virtual care, in response to a request from @albertadoctors. The change means docs can bill phone/video visits for palliative care & chronic pain, which previously they could only bill for in-person visits. https://twitter.com/_Norwegian_Blue/status/1264412224329670656
We expanded. Access. To. Virtual. Care.
At request of AMA.
Yet there's a string of vague complaints about it, incl from people claiming to be docs.
A great example of the constant stream of misinfo spewed by AMA & proxies, like the ink cloud from a startled squid.
A few docs claim they're surprised, as if Bulletins were secret. That's just absurd. Bulletins are shared w AMA, CPSA, http://alberta.ca , H-Link (docs' billing site). It's part of docs' job to know them.
Btw - MED228 is the 1st Bulletin in a month; not too many to follow.
