SUMMARY: In this episode of WXXV’s Expert Talk, host Michelle Eubank welcomes Danielle Gillery from Senior Medicare Patrol to discuss telehealth, which gained prominence during the COVID pandemic. Telehealth allows patients to consult with doctors via video calls rather than in person. However, telehealth fraud occurs when individuals are billed for services from providers they’ve never interacted with, such as cases where nurses, rather than doctors, diagnose readings. Gillery advises viewers who suspect fraud to contact Medicare or the Senior Medicare Patrol for assistance. The organization provides resources to help resolve billing issues and combat scams.
