Medicare Participant Televisits

Effective January 1, 2025, Medicare has changed its rules for Telehealth. Medicare participants are advised to contact Medicare and check coverage prior to scheduling a televisit. The County's coverage is secondary insurance and UHC and CareFirst will pay 20% of any eligible Medicare claim incurred. If your telehealth visit is not covered by Medicare, Retirees will be responsible for paying 80% of any televisit claims incurred. Kaiser Medicare Plus participants continue to be covered for televisits. To check coverage call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048.
