Medicare Part B Expands Telehealth Coverage for Enhanced Patient Access

Medicare Part B now covers many telehealth services, offering a convenient alternative to in-person medical visits for millions of beneficiaries, particularly those over 65 or with chronic conditions. Virtual healthcare eliminates travel and transportation barriers, benefiting approximately 5.8 million Americans who face access challenges, including mobility issues affecting nearly 21% of adults 65 and older.

Platforms like PlushCare connect Medicare Part B members with board-certified physicians and therapists nationwide, enabling easier management of preventive care, chronic condition monitoring, prescriptions, and urgent consultations. This digital care model supports timely and consistent healthcare access, especially for patients in remote or underserved locations.
