Summary
IHCP clarifies that certain COVID-19 policy changes have become permanent, including allowing nurse practitioners and physician assistants to order home health services, verbal consent for telehealth services, and revised transportation policies. These changes will not be rescinded after the public health emergency ends.
Action Required
Immediately: Update billing workflows to recognize that nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and physician assistants can order home health services and medical equipment. Ensure telehealth consent documentation includes verbal or electronic signature consent and patient location. No changes needed to transportation billing as policies remain in effect permanently.
