Telehealth Services for Members

  • Medicare News
    Published April 13, 2020

    Recently, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that they will temporarily expand coverage of telehealth services for all Medicare recipients during this crisis. This means that our Medicare Supplement plans now cover telehealth services from providers who offer these visits. And during this crisis, we’re waiving all cost shares for telehealth services from providers for Medicare Supplement members.

    Make sure you tell your clients to contact their provider’s office to find out if they offer this service.
