Description
During the pandemic CMS and many other national healthcare payers expanded the availability of telehealth services to protect patients from exposure to COVID-19 through office visits. Patients have become comfortable with using telehealth and phone calls to meet their healthcare needs without leaving home. For many this will change as of 4/20/21 when the post pandemic rules go into effect.
