From Becker’s Health IT
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released updated telehealth guidance following the end of the 43-day government shutdown.
Here are four things to know from the November FAQ:
- CMS will retroactively pay for telehealth claims for services rendered amid the fiscal standoff.
- Medicare telehealth flexibilities will expire Jan. 30 without an extension.
- Some telehealth providers who work from home can list their physical practices instead of their home addresses on Medicare enrollment and billing forms.
- Virtual-only telehealth clinicians will have to enroll their personal address as their practice location but can conceal their street address details.
