Telehealth is playing an important role for the management of chronic diseases especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to Medicare telehealth services has been widely expanded and now beneficiaries can get a wider range of services from their doctors and other clinicians without traveling to a health care facility.

There are three primary forms of telehealth, including video, telephone calls, and instant messaging, including email, health system messaging services, and mobile apps to track patient recorded metrics.
