Telemedicine is a tool, like any other technology that a physician can use in medical practice. But the absence of in-person, face-to-face interaction with patients can present unique challenges. 

That's why ISMS offers our members:

• A new Issue Brief, Telemedicine Principles, which highlights several concepts that can help guide individual physicians as they consider whether and how to incorporate telemedicine into their medical practices. 


• A medical legal guideline, Telemedicine Tips. This resource covers licensure issues, HIPAA, privacy concerns, hacking risks, medical records, reimbursements and much more!


• An on-demand webinar, Telemedicine in Illinois and the Impact on Physicians, featuring a telemedicine overview, the status of telemedicine in Illinois, the latest on the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, and ISMS policy and practice considerations for physicians.

If you have questions, call the ISMS Advocacy Team at 800-782-4767 ext. 1470, or send an email.

The Issue Brief, the medical legal guideline and the webinar are member benefits and are password protected.
