Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we share what’s actually changing for therapists regarding the Medicare telehealth “cliff” after October 1st 2025, so you can prepare without panic.

We discuss:

• Why telehealth coverage is changing for Medicare providers after 10/1
• Which changes do not apply to therapists
• The in-person visit requirement that does apply to therapists
• When you would need to see both established and not established Medicare clients in-person
• Exceptions to the in-person visit requirement 
• The time frame you have to make a plan for these changes in your practice
• Steps you can take now to prepare for these changes
• Dual eligibility clients
• Our upcoming free Q+A on these changes with Medicare expert Gabrielle Juliano Villani
