AB  - KEY  CLINICAL  UPDATES  IN  TELEMEDICINEThe  SARS-CoV-2  pandemic  has  produced  an  explosion  in  the  use  of  telehealth.  In  the  United  States,  video  visits  that  had  previously  not  been  reimbursed  by  government-sponsored  payment  programs  became  reimbursable.In  addition  to  the  obvious  need  to  be  “in  person”  for  a  phlebotomy,  electrocardiogram,  or  other  procedure,  concerns  have  arisen  about  whether  some  diagnostic  testing  (eg,  cancer  screening)  or  another  vital  health  care  maintenance  procedure  (eg,  scheduled  vaccination)  may  now  be  underutilized  because  it  is  now  comparatively  inconvenient.Other  aspects  of  practice  management,  such  as  completion  of  forms,  scheduling,  and  follow-up,  are  being  moved  to  “virtual”  platforms,  which  will  gradually  make  remote  care  more  complete  and  sustainable.It  remains  to  be  seen  whether  the  changes  to  policy  and  to  reimbursement  implemented  during  the  pandemic  will  be  reversed  with  return  to  a  post-pandemic  “new  normal”  or  will  be  made  permanent.
