Telehealth visits are especially beneficial for those living in rural areas, who may have greater difficulty accessing traditional healthcare services. Furthermore, because Medicare covers out-of-state telehealth visits, these individuals can access treatment from specialists all over the country without having to travel a long distance or spend additional money.
