What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill makes permanent certain telehealth rules that were put in place during COVID-19 for people with Medicare. It allows patients to receive telehealth services from their homes for all types of care, and lets rural health clinics and community health centers provide these remote services. The bill also permanently allows audiologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists to provide telehealth services, and continues a program that lets hospitals treat some patients at home instead of in the hospital. Additionally, Medicare must provide guidance to telehealth providers on helping patients with limited English and conduct outreach about screening for movement disorders related to mental health medications.
