This bill would expand Medicare's telehealth services by broadening the types of healthcare practitioners allowed to provide remote care to patients. Currently, Medicare limits which medical professionals can deliver telehealth services, and this legislation removes some of those restrictions to include more eligible practitioners. The bill amends Medicare rules under the Social Security Act to make it easier for additional healthcare providers to offer virtual care options to Medicare beneficiaries. The legislation was introduced in April 2024 and referred to the House committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means for review. The bill does not specify new funding requirements or implementation timelines in the available text.
