Bill overview
The Evaluating Disparities and Outcomes of Telehealth During the COVID-19 Emergency Act of 2020 (EDOT Act) requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to study how changes to telehealth services under Medicare and Medicaid during the COVID-19 emergency impacted healthcare access and outcomes. The study will examine telehealth utilization rates, compare them to in-person visits, and analyze how these changes affected different demographic groups. Additionally, the bill provides funding for states to conduct similar studies and report their findings to HHS, ultimately aiming to identify disparities and improve telehealth access for all.
