Telehealth

MGMA has long advocated for expanding coverage and reimbursement of virtual services to increase patient access to care. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress and the Administration allowed greater flexibility in how telemedicine is delivered to safely treat patients. Due to recent congressional and regulatory activity, many of these flexibilities now remain in effect until March 31, 2025. MGMA believes that the flexibilities implemented under the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) should be extended to allow practices to continue providing virtual care to vulnerable patient populations.
