I can't see why it wouldn't be. It shouldn't matter where he is sitting at the time. I am damned sure billing for it. I think everything they are doing is to flatten the curve on the Coronavirus thing. I don't think they care about the doctors as much as they don't want everyone sitting in a waiting room.

So, if they didn't pay for a doctor to do telehealth from home, it would mean the doctor would be more likely to send the patient to the ED.

In fact, I am thinking of doing everything from home. Or as much as possible. I just don't see how doctors can work in office four or five days a week and not be exposed to it.

How many staff stay? How many staff does it take to do the triaging? Why not do it from home?
