Objective: This study evaluates technical requirements, privacy and legal constraints, reimbursement considerations, and overall feasibility of a new telemedicine neurotologic patient care delivery model in post-Katrina, Southeast Louisiana.
Methods: This study is a retrospective review of the first year of a telemedicine neurotology practice with limited on-site neurotology physician availability (3-days monthly) with a full-time on-site audiologist, a full-time specialty-trained nurse practitioner, full-time neurosurgery on-site availability, and full-time otolaryngology on-site availability.
Results: A combined "store-and-forward" and "real-time" telemedicine delivery model was implemented for a new neurotology practice.
