A government shutdown halted Medicare’s telehealth program, cutting off care for millions of older Americans.
A government shutdown starting October 1, 2025, has halted Medicare’s telehealth program after Congress failed to extend pandemic-era waivers, cutting off reimbursements and disrupting virtual care for millions of older Americans.
Patients, especially those in rural or underserved areas, are missing critical appointments for conditions like dementia and degenerative diseases, risking worsened health, depression, and preventable hospitalizations.
Despite broad support, the program remains unfunded, leaving over 4 million beneficiaries who relied on telehealth in early 2025 without access to essential care.
