Update on President Trump Expands Telehealth Benefits for Medicare Beneficiaries During COVID-19 Outbreak

CMS Outlines New Flexibilities Available to People with Medicare

On March 17, 2020,  CMS announced that Fee For Service (FFS) Medicare is expanding coverage for Telehealth services, with an effective date of March 6, 2020. MLN Connects® Special Edition for Tuesday, March 17, 2020. Previously covered Telehealth services are now available to beneficiaries in their home environments, regardless of geographic location.

Our sole intent is to make the claim process as seamless as possible for the providers we serve. While we do not anticipate claim rejections and denials relative to these Telehealth claims, we urge providers to notify us immediately if any such problems are identified. We also advise providers that the NGS Provider Call Center does not have any further information on this issue at present. 

NGS keenly recognizes the challenges providers are facing as the country deals with this current emergency and we assure you of our full support as we navigate through this time. 

Medicare/National Government Services is committed to providing an outstanding experience for Medicare providers and suppliers across Jurisdictions 6 and K.
