Bill overview
The Expanded Telehealth Access Act permanently expands Medicare’s telehealth coverage to include additional healthcare professionals, specifically audiologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and certain facilities. It clarifies that telehealth services provided by therapy assistants are eligible for reimbursement, and broadens the definition of telehealth services to include audiology and outpatient therapy services. This legislation aims to increase access to healthcare services, particularly in rural or underserved areas, by removing barriers to telehealth delivery.
