Medicare + Telehealth Visit Update as of 10/25
Please be advised as of 10/1/25 the expanded telehealth services have expired. Currently telehealth is only covered for patients that reside in a Healthcare Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). Additionally, the patient could not be in their home or home setting to receive telehealth services.
There are only a few instances where patients would be able to receive telehealth services at any location in the U.S., including their home, and they are as follows:
- Treatment for Monthly End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) visits for home dialysis
- Services for diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment of symptoms for an acute stroke
- Services for diagnosis, evaluations, or treatment of a mental and/or behavioral health disorder in your home
If the patient is seeing treatment for any other services other than those three listed above, the patient must be in an office or medical facility that is located in a rural area.
