Medicare Telehealth Benefit

When Leaving The House is Not Your Best Option

Medicare has temporarily expanded its coverage of telehealth services to respond to COVID-19.

Telehealth is the delivery of health-related services and information via telecommunications technologies, including telephones, smartphones and personal computers, for virtual consultations. Telehealth lets you talk to a board-certified physician from the comfort of your own home.

It’s a great option for when you don’t have an appointment to see your primary care doctor or when you just want a convenient alternative to an urgent care visit.

Telehealth offers a “virtual house call” for non-life-threatening conditions, like:

Bronchitis
Constipation
Cough & Cold
Diarrhea
Ear problems
Fever
Flu
Headaches
Infections
Insect bites
Nausea
Pink eye
Rash
Respiratory issues
Sore throat
Urinary tract infections
Vomiting
And more

Telehealth doesn’t take the place of regular visits with your primary care doctor or specialist.

Remember: Medicare covers the lab tests for COVID-19. You pay no out-of-pocket costs.

For the latest information on the coronavirus, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
