In the FAST Act of 2018, Congress permanently expanded Medicare payment for telemedicine consultations for acute stroke (“telestroke”) from delivery only in rural areas to both urban and rural areas, effective January 2019. Using a controlled time-series analysis, we find that one year after FAST Act implementation, billing for Medicare telestroke increased substantially in Emergency Departments at both directly-affected urban hospitals and indirectly-affected rural hospitals. Nevertheless, one year after FAST Act implementation, only a minority of hospitals with known telestroke capacity had ever billed Medicare for that service and there was substantial billing inconsistent with Medicare requirements. As Congress considers options for post-pandemic Medicare telemedicine payment, our findings--consistent with provider confusion regarding telemedicine billing requirements--suggest simplified payment rules would help ensure expanded reimbursement achieves its intended impact.
