Blog: CMS should re-think its post-COVID-19 coverage strategy for tele-psychiatry services
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services should reconsider its decision to discontinue coverage of tele-audio services when the COVID-19 public health emergency ends, writes Blaine Greenwald, M.D., vice chair and director of geriatric psychiatry at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Queens, N.Y., noting that a significant proportion of older adults lack access to tele-video services. As AHA marks Mental Health Awareness Month, it will continue to release resources on the topic.
