Telehealth Expansion

Telehealth experienced an unprecedented expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic, entering a new era of patient access to care as a result of policymakers waiving certain Medicare requirements for telehealth. In the years following the pandemic, patients have come to expect telehealth as a standard service from their provider. To maintain this standard, policymakers must waive geographic limitations and originating site requirements permanently, continue payment parity for in-office and telehealth services, and continue separate payments for audio-only services.
