During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services enacted temporary waivers to support increased access and expanded insurance reimbursement coverage of telemedicine services. These waivers were set to expire on Dec. 31, 2024; however, they have been extended to March 31, 2025.   

The extension means there is no change to telehealth coverage for patients with Medicare fee-for-service coverage at this time. Practitioners will receive more information on minor billing changes in the UW Medicine Physicians newsletter.
