Telehealth Extension 2025

A Congressional continuing resolution bill has extended telehealth coverage for services in all U.S. geographic locations through 9/30/2025.

Based on this guidance, National Government Services will continue to pay claims with dates of service 1/1/2025 through 9/30/2025 with the same flexibilities that were applied to telehealth and related services for 2024. 

1. Geographic location will not be limited to non-MSA (rural) areas for patients to receive telehealth. The patient may receive telehealth service regardless of their geographic location.
2. Patients may continue to receive telehealth services within their home in place of an originating site for all services, not just behavioral health.  
3. No practitioner restrictions will be in place for providers that may render services via telehealth.  
4. Behavioral health waiver of required in person visits within six months prior to telehealth and every 12 months after the initiation of telehealth continue to be waived.
