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.
