While the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) did not explicitly propose extending provisional approval for audiology-specific current procedural terminology (CPT) codes on the telehealth services list in its final calendar year (CY) 2025 rulemaking, audiology codes are included.

The agency provided clarification in the final rule that any CPT codes currently granted provisional approval for telehealth will remain on the telehealth services list through at least 2025. However, CMS emphasized that provisional services, such as those for audiology, will not be permanently added to the telehealth services list until a comprehensive analysis of their effectiveness is completed. CMS has stated that this evaluation will be conducted independently of the rulemaking process. 

The list of telehealth services codes for CY 2025 is available on the CMS website.
