A headwind to tailwind is in the making........

"U.S. telehealth companies brace for demand spike as coronavirus spread accelerates"
and
https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/3420
"To protect public health, the bill will allow Medicare providers to extend telemedicine services to seniors regardless of where they live, at an estimated cost of $500 million."

Big change pending in the senate/house:
" will waive Medicare’s geographical restrictions on telehealth during a public health emergency, enabling providers to use telehealth in urban and rural areas as well as in the patient’s home - all defined within the scope of an “emergency area.”."

The million dollar question,is this funding applicable/reimbursable to Medicare recipients who used the teleneurology?Or only if they were infected??
