The indicator will be made available on clinician profile pages on the Medicare Care Compare website and in CMS’ provider data catalog.

The move comes after CMS reported that there was a 30-fold increase in telehealth services, with more than half of Medicare beneficiaries utilizing the virtual care services between March 1, 2020, and February 28, 2021.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
