Bill overview
The Protecting Access to Post-COVID–19 Telehealth Act of 2020 aims to expand access to telehealth services, particularly during public health emergencies. It allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to temporarily waive Medicare rules related to telehealth, making it easier for rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers to serve as distant sites. The bill also removes restrictions on where telehealth services can be delivered, including allowing patients to receive care from their homes. Finally, it requires the government to report on the use of telehealth during the covered periods to assess its effectiveness and identify barriers to access.
