The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ final rule on credentialing and privileging requirements for telehealth practitioners is effective as of July 5, 2011. This rule establishes a process for originating site hospitals (location of the patient) to rely on the credentialing and privileging decisions of the distant site hospital (location of the specialist) for telehealth practitioners.
