When Will Medicare Telehealth Coverage End?

This article was updated on July 23, 2020 due to a change in the expiration date of outpatient therapy services delivered via telehealth. See below for the updated answer on the expiration date of the Public Health Emergency due to COVID-19.

As I hope you all know by now, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has expanded who can provide and be reimbursed for services delivered via telehealth to include outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy services provided not only by private practices, but also institutional providers. Now what everyone wants to know is this a temporary or permanent expansion and if temporary, what is the expiration date.
