Started during the COVID-19 pandemic, federal rules have allowed patients to have telehealth appointments from home. However, these rules changed on September 30, 2025. As a result, telehealth visits may no longer be allowed by Medicare.
We are closely watching legislative actions that could restore coverage for at-home telehealth visits.
If you have a telehealth appointment, you might be offered an in-person visit instead to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
If these changes are difficult for you, please reach out. We want to make the process as simple as possible while ensuring you continue to receive the quality care you expect from Jefferson Healthcare. We continue our commitment to quality, accessible care. When you schedule an appointment, we can help you navigate your options.
