Medicare to Stop Telehealth Services October 1, 2025

According to Medicare, starting October 1, 2025, you must be in an office or medical facility located in a rural area (in the U.S.) for most telehealth services.

Through September 30, 2025, you can get telehealth services at any location in the U.S., including your home. Starting October 1, 2025, you must be in an office or medical facility located in a rural area (in the U.S.) for most telehealth services. If you aren't in a rural health care setting, you can still get certain Medicare telehealth services on or after October 1, including:
• Monthly End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) visits for home dialysis
• Services for diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment of symptoms of an acute stroke wherever you are, including in a mobile stroke unit
• Services for the diagnosis, evaluation, or treatment of a mental and/or behavioral health disorder (including a substance use disorder) in your home.

This policy is going to affect those of us who live in one state and have their MAC/Bronchiectasis health care providers in another state. Connect your local lawmakers to help change this policy!!
