A recently adopted state law allows for the expanded use of home-based telehealth services in Colorado. Our partners at the Rocky Mountain MS Center at University of Colorado are in the beginning stages of implementing home-based telemedicine services.

Currently, these services are covered for patients in Colorado under Medicaid, Tricare, and commercial insurances. Medicare does not currently cover home-telemedicine services.
Telehealth visits would be initiated by the patient’s provider identifying at an in-person visit that the patient is interested, and that their clinical issue is appropriate for follow up via telehealth. Through this telehealth visit, patients would connect with their provider using an online program from their home. As this effort is in its very early stages, we would like to get a sense of how interested people would be in using this service.
