Telehealth or telemedicine represents a growing segment of the healthcare sector as it rises in popularity. The growth in telehealth got a huge boost due to the effort to contain the spread of the Coronavirus in early 2020. Demand has risen as more patients have chosen this option and the state and federal governments have lifted barriers to its use, as well as actively encouraging doctors to treat patients remotely. Following a March 13 emergency declaration from the Trump administration and an appropriations act from Congress, Medicare beneficiaries may receive expanded telehealth benefits.
