Dive Brief: Members of an influential congressional advisory committee on Medicare are torn on how best to regulate telehealth after the COVID-19 public health emergency, hinting at the difficulty Washington faces as it looks to impose guardrails on virtual care without restricting its use after the pandemic ends. During a Thursday virtual meeting, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission expressed its support of telehealth broadly, but many members noted snowballing use of the new modality could create more fraud and abuse in the system down the line. Key questions of how much Medicare reimburses for telehealth visits and what type of visits are paid for won t be easily answered, MedPAC commissioners noted. This is a really, really difficult nut to crack, Michael Chernew, MedPAC chairman and a healthcare policy professor at Harvard Medical School, said.
