Telehealth Coverage

As the COVID-19 pandemic shifted sites of care, drove payment parity, eased licensing restrictions, and dispersed patient populations, The Doctors Company assured our members that their telehealth visits are covered by their medical professional liability policies.

The sharp increase in telemedicine since the start of the pandemic created an expansion of risk in healthcare. TDC Group is responding by offering coverage, including optional general liability and employee benefits liability coverage, for insured medical practices complementing care through virtual visits and for organizations offering 100 percent virtual visits without an established patient-physician relationship, where permitted by law.*

The Doctors Company is the industry leader in providing tools, resources, and continuing education to help practices of all sizes reduce risk and improve patient care while using telemedicine. We provide extensive telehealth resources, including CME, videos, and resources on safely implementing telemedicine in your practice. Members can also contact Patient Safety for individual support on reducing risk with telemedicine.

To learn about other telehealth coverage solutions, please have your broker contact Courtney Mrusko of TDC Specialty.

Medical Advantage, part of TDC Group, also offers expert telehealth consulting services that can help practices minimize patient and provider exposure and maximize convenience—while ensuring patients receive the care they need and providers stay HIPAA-compliant and are reimbursed for their services.
