Additionally, in follow up to our update about telemental health yesterday, MCTAC/CTAC announced a webinar and Q&A session taking place tomorrow and Wednesday on Telemental Health Guidance for OMH and OASAS providers. Details below:
New York State has issued updated guidance to OMH and OASAS licensed, certified, designated and otherwise authorized providers on the usage of telehealth services during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
On March 17, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. MCTAC will host a joint OMH & OASAS webinar to educate providers on the updated telebehavioral health guidance issued by New York State. This webinar will replace the previously announced OMH webinar on telemental health guidance scheduled for the same time.
While providers will be encouraged to submit questions throughout the webinar, questions submitted (specific to the guidance) will be addressed during a subsequent webinar hosted by OASAS & OMH via MCTAC on March 18, 2020 at 1:00 p.m.
Audience: Staff who operate OMH and OASAS programs including staff who handle Medicaid billing and Medicaid managed care billing, as that will be the focus of these webinars.
Important: To help ensure adequate capacity given the anticipated large number of attendees, we strongly encourage agencies to call in from a single line or have one representative call-in on behalf of the agency, who will then report back.
Additionally, this webinar will be recorded, posted online, and shared via State and MCTAC/CTAC listservs after the live webinar.
