What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill makes permanent changes to Medicare so that people can use telehealth (seeing a doctor through video or phone) from their homes, no matter where they live, removing rules that previously limited telehealth to certain locations. It also lets certain types of health clinics offer telehealth services and allows Medicare to lift telehealth restrictions during public health emergencies. The bill requires the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to share information online about how telehealth is being used, how much it costs, and how well it works. It also requires the agency to provide guidance to doctors about telehealth rules, including patient privacy and serving underserved communities, and to make sure quality standards apply to telehealth services.
