Medicare to Narrow Telehealth Coverage After Jan 2026

Medicare will end broad telehealth coverage on Jan. 31, 2026, generally requiring beneficiaries to be in a medical facility in a rural area for telehealth visits, with exceptions for ESRD home dialysis, acute-stroke evaluations, and certain home-based behavioral health services. Through Jan. 30, 2026, telehealth remains nationwide; after the deadline, many seniors may need in-person visits or rely on a Medicare Advantage plan that continues coverage in some cases.

A man in New York state allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old woman, Kaylin Gillis, after her car mistakenly drove up his driveway. The suspect, Kevin Monahan, 65, has shown no remorse, according to police. The town of Hebron is rural and the driveways are poorly lit at night. None of the group had exited the vehicle or attempted to enter Mr Monahan's house before he allegedly opened fire, police say. Ms Gillis was an artist and a "Disney fanatic" who was looking forward to starting college in Florida so she could become a marine biologist.
