April 30 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Numerous telehealth flexibilities created during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency have been extended year after year through federal financial packages and CMS policy. The end of 2024 brought significant uncertainty, as many provisions of telehealth coverage for Medicare came down to the wire in a last minute, 90-day extension just before they were set to expire on January 1. With the end of that 90-day extension passing on April 1, 2025, this session will address Congressional action that affects Medicare coverage of telehealth in 2025 and beyond.
