Telehealth Coverage Act of 2025
The Telehealth Coverage Act of 2025 makes permanent Medicare telehealth flexibilities that were temporarily expanded during the pandemic. It eliminates in-person visit requirements for mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, home dialysis visits, and stroke care, allowing these to be provided via telehealth. The bill also expands who can provide telehealth services, extends coverage for rural health clinics and community health centers, and requires new billing modifiers for certain telehealth claims by January 2026. Additionally, it includes guidance to help providers serve patients with limited English proficiency through telehealth and expands access to virtual diabetes prevention programs. These changes primarily affect Medicare beneficiaries, healthcare providers, and telehealth technology companies.
