As you may recall, HHS implemented several telehealth flexibilities during the COVID-19 public health emergency to allow for the adoption and reimbursement of telehealth services. Although they had been set to expire as of March 31, a bill was recently passed that includes temporary extensions of the Medicare telehealth flexibilities through Sept. 30, 2025.
Munson, along with many other health systems, continues to advocate at a federal level to encourage continued reimbursement of video visits. Look for updates as new information becomes available.
Guidance for Munson-Employed Providers
- Continue Scheduling Video Visits: Please continue to schedule video visits for patients in 2025.
- Reduce Phone Visits: Reimbursement for phone visits has already been reduced and could be discontinued in the future, so please reduce these where possible.
- Advocacy: We encourage you to contact your congressional representatives to support the extension of Medicare telehealth flexibilities.
