In February, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released several fact sheets regarding what would happen to temporary telehealth COVID-19 policies after the public health emergency (PHE) ended on May 11, 2023.  Since the release of those original fact sheets, CMS has been updating the information. This chart shows the status of this information as of July 25, 2023. This is only a brief summary and CCHP suggests you look for more detailed information on the CMS fact sheets page, particularly for each individual provider type.

As we move towards the end of the federal public health emergency (PHE), some but not all temporary pandemic waivers have been scheduled to be extended beyond May 11, 2023. As a result, CCHP has created a new Post-PHE Policy Factsheet addressing some lingering Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).  This fact sheet looks at various policies impacting different provider types, including practitioners, clinics (FQHCs/RHCs) and hospitals.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released their final Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) for CY 2023.

This is the typical vehicle utilized by CMS to make administrative changes to telehealth policy in the Medicare program.  This fact sheet reviews the telehealth related items that CMS has decided to finalize for CY 2023.
