This bill makes permanent several telehealth flexibilities under Medicare that were initially authorized during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19.

Specifically, the bill permanently allows (1) federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics to serve as the distant site (i.e., the location of the health care practitioner); (2) beneficiaries to receive telehealth services at any site, regardless of type or location; (3) any type of practitioner to furnish telehealth services, subject to approval by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; and (4) audio-only evaluation and management and behavioral health services.

]]> 53 2022-07-27 Passed House 2022-08-03T17:49:45Z Advancing Telehealth Beyond COVID-19 Act of 2022

This bill modifies the extension of certain Medicare telehealth flexibilities after the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Specifically, the bill provides that certain flexibilities continue to apply until December 31, 2024, if the emergency period ends before that date. The bill allows

  • beneficiaries to continue to receive telehealth services at any site, regardless of type or location (e.g., the beneficiary's home);
  • occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists to continue to furnish telehealth services;
  • federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics to continue to serve as the distant site (i.e., the location of the health care practitioner);
  • evaluation and management and behavioral health services to continue to be provided via audio-only technology; and
  • hospice physicians and nurse practitioners to continue to complete certain requirements relating to patient recertifications via telehealth.

The bill also delays implementation of certain in-person evaluation requirements for mental health telehealth services until January 1, 2025, or the first day after the end of the emergency period, whichever is later.
