Dear John,

Join Health Affairs April 8 for a virtual event exploring our April 2025 theme issue on food, nutrition, and health.

This week, Congress extended telehealth flexibilities for Medicare beneficiaries until September 30 of this year.

The initial expansion of telehealth coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in beneficiaries receiving access to care in their homes as well as expanding the abilities of different types of providers to offer virtual care.

For Flashback Friday, let's take a look back at what Health Affairs has published at the intersection of telehealth and Medicare.
