Beginning Oct. 1, 2025, Medicare is no longer reimbursing for most telehealth visits due to the expiration of temporary federal funding. We are proactively working with patients to ensure continuity of care.
What is Telehealth?
- Telehealth is a method to get medical care from your provider using your phone, tablet or computer – without going to the office in-person.
Why are we addressing Telehealth?
- The Federal Government has not extended the COVID-19 rules that expanded access to telehealth services for patients with Medicare. Beginning Oct. 1, 2025, Medicare will require patients to be seen in a provider's office.
- This change impacts patients with Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans.
- There are some exceptions in which telehealth may still be allowed for Medicare patients, this includes patients who live in a rural area, are under treatment for psychiatric disorders, are receiving inpatient treatment at a hospital, hospice care, and those who are residents of a nursing home. If you have questions, please contact your provider.
