Bill overview
This bill makes audio-only telehealth services permanent under Medicare. It expands Medicare coverage to include telehealth services delivered solely through audio communication, such as phone calls or video conferencing without visuals. The bill also removes geographic restrictions on telehealth and allows for telehealth services to be provided from a patient’s home, as long as it meets specific criteria. This aims to increase access to healthcare, particularly for mental and behavioral health services.
