A win for private practice: Telehealth
The AMA proposed the introduction of telehealth items early in 2020 as part of a comprehensive strategy to tackle COVID-19 and worked tirelessly behind the scenes for these to be extended. Moreover, due to our advocacy, both private specialists and GPs are now allowed to apply their usual fee schedule to telehealth services.
