Description

Two COVID-era Medicare programs, telehealth benefits and in-home hospital care, have ended abruptly for millions of Americans as a result of the government shutdown. Funding for both expired on September 30, and Congress failed to pass a new budget plan for either. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Kyle Zebley of the American Telemedicine Association.
