Has anyone heard of a change to Medicare coverage of telehealth after PE ends? Will providers still be able to provide telehealth from their home?
 
Update: Providers who want to work from home in 2024 will need to update their enrollment and bill from that address by Jan. 1, 2024.
 
Is this in the same document? I didn't see it. What is your source for this? Thank you.

see page 15:
"Reporting Home Address: During the PHE, CMS allowed practitioners to render telehealth services from their home without reporting their home address on their Medicare enrollment while continuing to bill from their currently enrolled location. When the PHE ends, the waiver will continue through December 31, 2023."
 
Patient has a telehealth visit then proceeds to go into office and get a blood draw on same day by lab tech. In my previous place of employment we were instructed that is a patient breeches clinic property it is no longer a telehealth visit and to change POS. What is the consensus on this?
 
If a provider provides telemedicine from his office most of the time and then a few days from his home office-so he's not full time at his home location does the provider still have to add their home address to their Medicare enrollment form? I've seen different answers and Medicare doesn't specify they just say if they are providing telemedicine from home. These providers are in the office more providing telemedicine than they are at home.

Do you know if the provider is required to update their medicare enrollment if they are in the office the majority of the time and work from home maybe a few days a month. The majority of their time they are providing telehealth in the office and the patient is at home.

Per the references by @jkyles and @lgardner, if the provider is providing telehealth services at their residence after 01/01/2024, they must add it to their enrollment. It would not matter how frequently.
I have providers with a main office, and then satellite office they only go to twice a month. I still must have the satellite office on their enrollment.
 
We have providers who will be starting to do telehealth from their homes. I'm trying to figure out what POS to bill them under and if we need to change the facility to their home address. They have registered their homes on the list. Are there other types of documentation I would need to bill these out correctly?

For Medicare you'll bill the POS based on the patient's location:
02 - The patient is not at home. 10 - Patient is at home or other residence.

UPDATE - In the final Medicare physician fee schedule CMS delayed the home enrollment requirement through 2024.
