Courtney @ PCC recently put together[ this piece](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/hubfs/Telemedicine-Primer.pdf) to help our clients get their heads around the state of pediatric telemedicine.  It's got some clear explanations, excellent resources, and check out this sample from the Table of Contents:

- Top 5 Themes and Trends
- Where Are We Today?
- Current Uses
- What Counts As Telemedicine?
- What’s In It For Me? The Case For Telemedicine
- Obstacles and Issues Around Telemedicine
- Getting Paid for Telemedicine
- How Do I Code For Telemedicine?
- Telemedicine and Pediatrics
- Telemedicine and Schools
- How is PCC Addressing Telemedicine?
- PCC’s Current Telemedicine Tools
- What Does the Future Hold?

So, [grab it here](https://chipsblog.pcc.com/hubfs/Telemedicine-Primer.pdf) - it's free!

I'm also going to recommend the [American Telemedicine Association's most recent report card](https://higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com/AMERICANTELEMED/3c09839a-fffd-46f7-916c-692c11d78933/UploadedImages/Policy/State%20Policy%20Resource%20Center/2017%20NEW_50%20State%20Telehealth%20Gaps%20%20Analysis-%20Coverage%20and%20Reimbursement_FINAL.pdf) reviewing the telemedicine laws and programs in all 50 states.  Fascinating stuff, but it shows we're still making a lot of this stuff up as we go along.
