Career Corner: Following an Academic Career Path Special thanks to Dr. Marilyn Wickenheiser for providing insight into following an academic career path. Dr. Wickenheiser serves as the Staff Physician and Associate Program Director at Cleveland Clinic Department of Dermatology. Since medical school, I have focused on medical education and teaching.

While some private insurance payers have adopted the new 98000-series telehealth codes, Medicare has declined to recognize them, instead continuing to require the use of traditional E/M codes (99202–99215) with additional telehealth modifiers.   Of note, key telehealth flexibilities authorized under the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA)—including the waiver of geographic and originating site restrictions that allow Medicare beneficiaries to receive telehealth care from home—are set to expire on September 30, 2025. Until that time, dermatologists may continue providing telehealth services to Medicare patients at home. However, after this date, Medicare is expected to reinstate the originating site requirements, meaning pa...
