USBD management is committed to improving the quality of medical and psychiatric care of patients who are restricted to their place of residence.
As you are all aware, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have been forced to switch our model of patient care delivery system to telehealth. However, it has been a blessing in disguise as we are at the present time, able to reach patients in need of our services in every corner of Florida.
Insurance companies are looking into ways to reimburse providers and affiliated professionals so that genuine patients who are in need of help are able to obtain them.
For payment, patients must meet the criteria for medical necessity. It must be well documented, along with patients' verbal consent and mode of telehealth delivery to avoid malpractice issues.
The criteria for house calls is to be on a case to case basis, both short and long term.
