Changes to telemedicine coverage for Medicare patients

Effective October 1, 2025, the telemedicine flexibilities for patients of Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and TRICARE programs have expired. For patients insured by these plans, this impacts any upcoming virtual visits with your healthcare provider. 

Electrocardiogram (EKG)

An electrocardiogram is a cardiac noninvasive diagnostic test that records the electrical activity in all areas of the heart, providing your physician with information about:

  • Your heart rate and heart rhythm
  • The presence of heart damage after a heart attack
  • Inadequate blood and oxygen supply to the heart
  • Abnormalities of the structure of the heart (for example, an enlarged heart)
