Three unanswered questions for telehealth's future

The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the telehealth landscape. Many
physicians and patients had their first experience with a
telehealth visit as lockdown measures limited in-person physician
offices.


Many questions remain whether the telehealth explosion is a
flash-in-the-pan success or if it will have long-lasting changes
in patient visit behaviors.


Health Affairs' Chris Fleming and Rob Lott join Health Affairs
This Week to discuss a recently published series of blog articles
on the topic and unpack the biggest questions regarding the
future of telehealth, including: 


Should Medicare continue payment parity?

Where does payment reform stand on telehealth?

What are current barriers affecting implementation of
telehealth?
