Here’s what you and your mom
should know.
If you’re not familiar with
telehealth or telemedicine ser-
vices, they are full visits with a
health care provider who isn’t at
your location using telephone or
video technology device - i.e.
smartphone, tablet or computer.
Telehealth services allow
Medicare beneficiaries to take
care of ongoing medical prob-
lems as well as new concerns,
while following public health
advice to stay home during the
coronavirus outbreak.
Medicare patients with
chronic health conditions now
don’t have to postpone a regular
follow-up visit with the doctor
to keep safe. They can do it via
Dear Avoiding,
Yes! Due to the coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic, Medi-
care recently announced that it
will be expanding coverage for
telehealth services to help keep
concerned they may have the
virus could see their doctor or
nurse practitioner virtually to
find out how to get tested. Nurs-
ing home residents will also be
able to have telehealth consulta-
tions with their doctors.
If your mom isn’t familiar or
comfortable with technology,
you or another relative or friend
can assist her. You may need to
go over to her house to help her
do this. Bring your smartphone,
tablet or laptop - but remember,
don’t visit if you’re feeling sick.
Risk of serious illness from
the coronavirus is much greater
for older people and those with
underlying health problems
such as lung conditions, diabe-
tes or heart problems. Many se-
niors are also managing chronic
health issues that put them at
heightened risk.
Until recently, telehealth cov-

your mom has been nfected,
and medically necessary hos-
pitalizations, so if her doctor
recommends that she remain in
quarantine at the hospital rather
than self-isolating at home, she
will not have to pay for these
costs.
If your mom has a Medicare
Part D prescription drug plan, it
will cover the coronavirus vac-
cine when it becomes available
and will waive prescription re-
fill limits so she can have extra

Dear Savvy Senior,
Does Medicare cover tele-
health services? My 71-year-
old mother has chronic type 2
diabetes but is very concerned
about going to the doctor for
fear of exposing herself to
coronavirus. What can you tell
for visits via telemedicine that
previously had to take place in
person, at a medical office or
facility.
