Easier Access to Mental Health Telehealth Services via Medicare
New rules remove the in-person visit requirement for mental health telehealth services under Medicare. This means individuals needing psychological support or addiction treatment can more easily access remote help without a physical visit. These changes aim to increase the accessibility of mental health services, especially for rural residents and those with limited mobility.
Key points
No in-person visit required: Medicare patients can directly access mental health and substance use disorder telehealth services.
Increased accessibility: Easier access to mental health professionals, regardless of location.
Applies to rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers as well.
