Overview
March 2026
Medicaid is required to cover healthcare services appropriately delivered through telehealth if the same services would be covered when delivered in person. Medicaid enrolled providers are eligible to deliver telemedicine services at the same rate as in-person consultations. Medicaid also now covers audio-only telehealth. Medicaid generally does not cover asynchronous telehealth or remote patient monitoring, and billing manuals still reference an exclusion of audio-only, in addition to e-mail and fax.
