As the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) continues to evaluate the inclusion of telehealth services that were temporarily added to the Medicare telehealth services list during the COVID-19 public health emergency, they have finalized that certain services added to the Medicare telehealth services list will remain on the list through December 31, 2023. Additionally, CMS is adopting coding and payment for a longer virtual check-in service on a permanent basis. Participants will describe three benefits of providing therapeutic services via technology-assisted media. Participants will also be able to explain two issues regulated by applicable ethical codes and two issues regulated by the state/federal government regarding the use of tele-mental health.
