Video Summary

In the video, the presenters discuss telegenetics consults and resources available through the ACMG Genomics Case Conference. The presenters include Dr. David Flannery, Director of Telegenetics and Digital Genetics at the Cleveland Clinic, and Megan Lyon, Project Manager for the National Coordinating Center. They provide information on the Regional Genetics Networks, which aim to improve access to genetic services for underserved populations. Each network offers different telegenetics resources, such as e-consults, telemedicine training programs, telegenetics navigation programs, and online forums for sharing information and resources. The presenters also mention Project ECHO, a tele-education system for primary care and complex disorders. They highlight the expanded coverage of telehealth services by Medicare, but note that genetic counselors are not recognized as providers by Medicare. The presenters discuss the privacy and HIPAA regulations for telegenetics, as well as the use of secure platforms for telehealth. They mention the Appendix P of the CPT manual, which lists the billing codes that can be used for telemedicine services. The presenters also address the use of telemedicine in different settings, such as prenatal screening programs and oncology clinics, and emphasize the importance of documenting in the official medical records. The session concludes with information on the Undiagnosed Diseases Network Grand Rounds and the call for proposals for the 2021 ACMG Annual Meeting.
