Telehealth is evolving—will policy keep up?
CMS is rolling out major changes in 2025: permanent audio-only mental health visits, expanded telehealth services, and more flexibility for inpatient care. But the real question is what happens next?
Without congressional action by March 31st, geographic restrictions snap back, limiting telehealth access for urban patients. Meanwhile, deregulation talks could reshape cross-state care.
The landscape is shifting fast. Payers and providers need data infrastructure that can keep up. Let’s talk about how Madaket Health can help.

Telehealth’s getting a big lift from CMS in 2025!
CMS is expanding coverage with the 2025 Physician Fee Schedule. Audio-only visits for mental health are now permanent! This is huge for seniors without video access. Plus, caregiver training and HIV prep counseling join the telehealth list, boosting access nationwide!
But here’s the catch: geographic restrictions snap back unless Congress acts by March 31st. Rural-only rules could limit urban patients. CMS is also suspending frequency caps on inpatient telehealth visits through December, keeping care flexible.
What about DOGE? Rumors say Trump’s efficiency team might push deregulated telehealth to cut costs—think cross-state care with less red tape. Stay tuned as that unfolds!
