Bill > HR8489

This bill, the Greater Access to Telehealth Act, aims to expand the availability and coverage of telehealth services under Medicare. Key provisions include: removing geographic requirements and expanding the list of eligible originating sites for telehealth services, extending the ability of additional health care practitioners to provide telehealth services, extending telehealth coverage for Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics, delaying in-person requirements for mental health services provided via telehealth, allowing for the use of audio-only technology for certain telehealth services, and extending a safe harbor for high-deductible health plans to cover telehealth services without a deductible. The bill also redirects funding from the Medicare Improvement Fund to support these telehealth expansions.
