Formal Telephone Discussion Demonstration Implements Zoom for Healthcare Audio Conference Calls
Update: All activities related to the DME Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) Telephone Discussion and Reopening Process Demonstration will end on December 31, 2021.
The Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) recently transitioned to conducting the formal telephone discussion demonstration using Zoom for Healthcare audio conference calls. Previously, Maximus contacted the supplier participants directly for the telephone discussion. Zoom allows participants to dial into an audio-only conference call, utilizing a telephone number and meeting ID provided by the QIC.
This change has resulted in several efficiencies to this process with the two most prominent being:
- Improved call clarity during the discussion and playback of the recordings;
- QICs ability to conduct multi-case calls within one recorded phone discussions.
The conference line details are provided via email in advance of the call. There is no video conferencing utilized or any software application to download or log into.
Any questions concerning the use of Zoom for Healthcare should be directed to Maximus at the following address: DMEInfo@maximus.com.
