Deeper Than the Headlines: When Telehealth Billing Crosses the Line

In this episode of Deeper Than the Headlines , we take a closer look at the recent case involving a physician group and its owner who agreed to pay over $152,000 to resolve civil allegations of False Claims Act violations.

While the dollar amount may seem small compared to other settlements, this case highlights a broader compliance challenge: understanding and adhering to rapidly evolving telehealth billing regulations. Join us as we break down what went wrong, what regulators are watching for, and what this means for healthcare providers navigating the post-pandemic telehealth landscape.
