Many people underestimate just how important Medicare's coverage of telehealth really is. Telehealth isn't just a convenience; it's a lifeline for those with mobility issues, chronic conditions, or who live far from quality care. With Medicare supporting telehealth, more seniors and people with disabilities can get the medical advice and care they need from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) is here to help you understand your Medicare options, including telehealth benefits, and answer your questions one-on-one.

Want to know exactly what Medicare covers when it comes to telehealth? Check out our infographic below! Read it, share it, and help spread the word. For more details, we’ve included a link to our blog on telehealth in the comments.
