 FREE 1-hour Training Webinar (LIVE)

December 13, 2011
2 p.m. Eastern or  11 a.m. Pacific

Wrap up this year with an essential discussion of current events to
predict next year's focus on telemental health and online therapy.
This month's guest will be Tania S. Malik, J.D., Founder and President
of COPEtoday. As Dr. Maheu's guest, she will discuss the rapidly
changing legal and marketplace issues related to increasing access to
mental health via technology.

In particular, we will be reviewing the nationwide repercussion of
various legal changes, including the overall reimbursement climate for
telehealth and online therapy; the meaning of new California
Telehealth Advancement Act of 2011; changes in CPT codes for
counseling through telehealth and pivotal corporate shifts in how
mental health care will be approached in the United States.

This discussion will focus on marketplace shifts to address:

* the future of home-based care with the elimination of the
"in-person" requirement for intakes
* reducing certification requirements for practitioners
* the role of "self-management" in telehealth through the iPhone and
other smartphones
* HIPAA-compliance & the use of Skype
* alternatives to Skype
* possible repercussions of Wal-mart's plans to be the biggest primary
care provider in the U.S.
