Medicare telehealth "flexibilities" established during the Covid-19 pandemic are set to expire on March 31 .

The current flexibilities were enacted when Congress waived restrictions in March 2020 under President Donald Trump and extended several times under President Joe Biden .

If Congress doesn’t act, the prior rules will largely be restored, which means that most telehealth appointments will only be provided in person at rural medical facilities.
