Updated: 10/13/2020: US Health and Human Services have extended the health emergency to January 21, 2020. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced a significant, temporary broadening of telehealth services coverage.
CMS recently finalized its Medicare coverage changes for 2020 and we’ve found a little something to be excited about. Officially dubbed Principal Care Management (PCM), this new program will allow medical providers to bill Medicare for providing care management services to beneficiaries who have only one high-risk qualifying condition or diagnosis.

With the document content looming over 1700 pages, we went through and picked out some of the stand-out topics for your review.
