Government and payer policies in response to the coronavirus crisis are changing rapidly, so we recommend that you check our Practice Information Hub frequently. We will continue to keep this resource updated regularly for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Information about how telehealth services may be delivered to Medicare beneficiaries during the public health emergency can be found on the APA Practice Information Hub. The “Incident to” Services page explains why. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services does not cover services provided by supervised trainees to Medicare beneficiaries.
