Reporting of telehealth/telemedicine services exploded during the PHE. It became very popular with both providers and patients and has now been accepted and expanded by most health care payers as a way to provide enhanced care to patients as well as improve access to providers. In 2025 Telehealth services have continued to evolve since their beginning with the AMA revising the EM section of CPT with a specific category for telehealth services including telephone calls. .
