Wiki Telehealth Ending

[karalynn.langley]

UHC posted on their website the state of emergency that granted telehealth coverage is set to end on July 19th. I cant find anything from Medicare, and wondered if anyone else has heard this, or what actions will you take after July 19th?

PHE was extended 90 days effective April 21, 2021.

Hope this helps.

The public health emergency orders can only last for 90 days at a time, but the orders for the COVID PHE have been renewed again before expiration ever since the initial order in January 2020. Although the current order officially expires in July, my guess is that it will likely be extended again. I imagine that if and when it does finally expire, it will be very well publicized.
