COVID-19: President Trump Expands Telehealth
Benefits for Medicare Beneficiaries During COVID-19 Outbreak
On March 17, the Trump Administration
announced expanded Medicare telehealth coverage that will enable
beneficiaries to receive a wider range of health care services from their
doctors without having to travel to a health care facility. Beginning on
March 6, 2020, Medicare—administered by CMS—will temporarily pay clinicians
to provide telehealth services for beneficiaries residing across the entire
country.
For More Information:
This guidance, and earlier CMS actions in
response to the COVID-19 virus, are part of the ongoing White House Task
Force efforts. To keep up with the important work the Task Force is doing in
response to COVID-19, visit the coronavirus.gov webpage.
