CMS has released updated telehealth guidance following the end of the 43-day government shutdown.
Here are four things to know from the November FAQ:
1. CMS will retroactively pay for telehealth claims for services rendered amid the fiscal standoff.
2. Medicare telehealth flexibilities will expire Jan. 30 without an extension.
3. Some telehealth providers who work from home can list their physical practices instead of their home addresses on Medicare enrollment and billing forms.
4. Virtual-only telehealth clinicians will have to enroll their personal address as their practice location but can conceal their street address details.
