The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) has instituted several flexibilities that waive many of the generally applicable rules governing Medicare telehealth services in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis. These flexibilities have been implemented incrementally, however this resource intends to provide a comprehensive overview of all telehealth and telemedicine waivers issued to date.
Please keep in mind that this resource addresses Medicare payment policy, and that Medicaid and commercial payers may institute their own payment rules.
