In 2019, CMS lifted some restrictions to telehealth and began reimbursing providers for services that utilized additional telecommunication approaches, which included virtual check-ins, remote evaluation of pre-recorded patient information, and interprofessional internet consultations. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CMS took action on March 17th to expand access to telehealth services through a waiver to Section 1135 of the Social Security Act which allows for temporary modifications to Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) during a national emergency.	./cache/cord-354247-erzak928.txt	./txt/cord-354247-erzak928.txt
