I don’t give a shit what that says, it’s not true now.What mental health telehealth services are available for Medicare beneficiaries?What to Know About Medicare Coverage of Telehealth | KFF
Many pandemic-era flexibilities around Medicare coverage of telehealth are due to expire in December 2024. There is bipartisan support for proposed legislation to extend these provisions for another two years, and Congress is weighing the potential benefits, risks, and costs of permanently...www.kff.org
Telehealth has played an important role during the COVID-19 pandemic in providing access to mental health services for older adults, one in four of whom reported anxiety or depression in August 2020. During the first year of the pandemic, a large share of Medicare beneficiaries’ behavioral health services were conducted via telehealth, and a larger share of behavioral health services were delivered via telehealth for beneficiaries in traditional Medicare (16%) than enrollees in Medicare Advantage (9%).
Based on provisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, policymakers have permanently expanded coverage for telehealth services for the purpose of diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment of mental health disorders after the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Medicare beneficiaries can use telehealth for mental health services in their homes, and beneficiaries who cannot use real-time two-way audio and video for telehealth mental health services are permitted to use audio-only devices to access these services. Beneficiaries are required to have an in-person, non-telehealth service within six months of their first telehealth mental health service (although the CAA of 2022 delayed this requirement for 151 days after the end of the public health emergency).
What do Medicare beneficiaries pay for telehealth services?
Beneficiary cost sharing for telehealth services has not changed during the public health emergency. Medicare covers telehealth services under Part B, so beneficiaries in traditional Medicare who use these benefits are subject to the Part B deductible of $233 in 2022 and 20% coinsurance. However, the HHS Office of Inspector General has provided flexibility for providers to reduce or waive cost sharing for telehealth visits during the COVID-19 public health emergency, although there are no publicly-available data to indicate the extent to which providers may have done so. Most beneficiaries in traditional Medicare have supplemental insurance that may pay some or all of the cost sharing for covered telehealth services. Medicare Advantage plans have flexibility to modify cost-sharing requirements provided they meet standards of actuarial equivalence and other CMS requirements.
