Well damn. I’ve used telehealth services over the past five years, including telehealth physical therapy after surgery, and now Medicare won’t be covering this due to the budget mess. Not a big deal to me personally at this point, but a very big deal to others — as is the loss of in-home hospital care.

  Millions of seniors lose access to telehealth services in wake of shutdown
  
  Two COVID-era Medicare programs, telehealth benefits and in-home hospital care, have ended abruptly for millions of Americans as a result of the government shutdown. Funding for both expired on September 30, and Congress failed to pass a new budget plan for either. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Kyle Zebley of the American Telemedicine Association.
