Telehealth Update

There has been some confusing media reporting of Medicare coverage for telehealth in the last few weeks. Here's a quick explainer.

During the pandemic, Congress expanded telehealth services covered by Medicare. This benefit has been important for those with ME/CFS and other debilitating illnesses, allowing them to see their physicians without expending valuable energy or risking infection. This expanded coverage was a temporary measure, set to expire at the end of 2024. There was significant bipartisan support to extend this coverage for another two years in the next budget, but because that budget bill failed, and the country is operating under a short-term stop-gap funding bill, Medicare coverage for telehealth is set to expire on March 31st.

With current bipartisan support, another temporary extension is likely under whatever budget measures lawmakers agree to this month. The hope is that Medicare coverage of telehealth will be made permanent. If this coverage is important to you, tell your elected representatives. See the links in the Advocacy section to find how to contact your Congressional representative.
