Telehealth has been around for a while but has recently become  very popular due to Coronavirus concerns.  If you are not familiar with Telehealth, it is basically a doctor visit by video.  People can “visit” with their doctor virtually.  The key benefit during this period is to avoid coronavirus contact for both patient and medical staff.

One big difference is most health insurance plans, including Medicare, will now cover Telehealth services.  Most doctors’ offices are also now able to offer Telehealth.  If interested, people should check with their health plan and doctor’s office to confirm participation.
