Telemedicine has increased the accessibility of health care services. Because telemedicine and e-visits are now more available than ever, many wonder if Medicare coverage will cover e-visits and telemedicine services. Here’s the answer.
What Are E-Visits?
E-visits allow you to engage with your doctor or other health care provider using an online patient portal. This removes the need to physically go to the doctor’s office, often saving time and allowing people to access health care services more often. There are a variety of providers who are allowed to offer e-visits.
They include:
- Doctors
- Nurse practitioners
- Physician assistants
- Licensed clinical social workers, in specific circumstances
- Clinical psychologists, in specific circumstances
- Physical therapists
- Occupational therapists
- Speech-language pathologists
Does Medicare Cover E-Visits?
Fortunately, Medicare does cover e-visits. Through your Part B medical insurance, you can see doctors and other providers using their online portals. Be aware that you must meet the Part B deductible and pay 20% of the amount of Medicare-approved services.
