Annotation: In March 2022, the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) held this session on telehealth policy updates, focusing on changes made during COVID-19 and beyond. It details Medicare and Medicaid policy changes, including waivers for geographic limitations, expanded provider lists, and additional service codes. The presentation outlines the 2022 Physician Fee Schedule updates, which include significant changes to mental health services via telehealth, Remote Therapeutic Monitoring codes, and other modifications. It also covers state-level policies, noting that as of Fall 2021, all 50 states and DC reimburse for live video telehealth in Medicaid, 22 states reimburse for store-and-forward, 28 states cover remote patient monitoring, and 22 states allow audio-only services. Additionally, it mentions that 43 states and DC have private payer telehealth laws, with 20 states having payment parity requirements. Slides from the presentation are available for download.
