Approaching the Telehealth Cliff: Medicare Policy Post-Pandemic

Flexibilities enacted during the COVID-19 public health emergency paved the way for an unprecedented expansion of telehealth virtually overnight. As the nation moves forward and waivers expire, policymakers must consider whether flexibilities should be made permanent and weigh the future implications for cost and quality.
