Medicare beneficiaries using health systems with high telehealth adoption saw quality improvements, such as increased office visits, better care continuity, and medication adherence, along with fewer emergency department visits, according to a Health Affairs study, Healthcare Dive reports. However, this group also experienced a slight 1.6% rise in health care spending. These findings suggest that maintaining telehealth payment flexibilities in Medicare, set to expire at year's end without Congressional action, could be justified.
