Medicare expands telehealth services to beneficiaries

WASHINGTON — Medicare beneficiaries can temporarily use telehealth services for common office visits, mental health counseling and preventive health screenings. This will help ensure they are able to visit with their doctor from their home. If you have an existing healthcare appointment, or think you need to see your doctor, please call them first to see if your appointment can be conducted over a smartphone, tablet or a laptop. For some appointments, a simple check-in over the phone  may suffice. Remember: Medicare covers the lab tests for COVID-19. For the latest information on the coronavirus, go to cdc.gov.
