Original Medicare is covering office visits via telehealth for both new and established patients during the public health emergency; until now only established patients were eligible. (Specifically, CMS said it would not check for compliance with the requirement that telehealth be provided only to established patients treated within the past three years. The requirement itself is unchanged.) Medicare Advantage plans are allowed to cover additional telehealth services beyond their approved 2020 benefits. It is best to check with your insurer if you have Medicare Advantage.
