FROM OUR PARTNER SCTA

Medicare Telehealth Flexibilities Update:

Medicare telehealth flexibilities put in place during COVID-19 in March 2020 were extended through 3/31/25 as part of a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the federal government. This current CR runs through 3/14/25 and Congress must act beforehand to allow telehealth flexibilities to remain in place past their 3/31/25 expiration. Current Medicare telehealth flexibilities impact beneficiaries’ telehealth benefits, including patient originating site and geographic location (rurality). Medicare behavioral health visits should not be impacted.

The SC Telehealth Alliance (SCTA) is issuing special edition weekly newsletters via email to keep stakeholders informed. Sign up here!
