Telehealth Provisions Extended Through September 30, 2025

President Trump signed a short-term spending bill on Saturday, March 15, extending key telehealth provisions through September 30, 2025. The legislation includes:

• Medicare Telehealth Flexibilities (previously set to expire March 31, 2025):
  • Geographic & Originating Site Restrictions: Medicare beneficiaries can continue receiving telehealth services from any location, including their homes.
  • Expanded Practitioner Eligibility: Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists remain eligible to provide telehealth services.
  • FQHCs & RHCs: These facilities can continue serving as distant site telehealth providers.
• Audio-Only Telehealth Services: The authorization for audio-only telehealth services is extended.
• Acute Hospital Care at Home Program: Hospitals can continue providing hospital-level care in patients’ homes.

While these extensions offer temporary relief, the long-term future of telehealth remains uncertain. Now is the time to assess your telehealth strategy and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. Yeo & Yeo Medical Billing & Consulting can help your practice stay prepared and avoid disruptions.
