Bill > HR3419

This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to extend funding for telehealth network and telehealth resource centers grant programs. Specifically, the bill reauthorizes these grant programs by providing $42,050,000 in funding for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. Telehealth networks are programs that use telecommunications technology to provide healthcare services remotely, which can be especially beneficial for patients in rural or underserved areas who may have limited access to medical care. The bill essentially continues financial support for these important healthcare infrastructure programs, ensuring that telehealth resources can continue to be developed and maintained across the United States during the specified five-year period. By maintaining consistent funding, the legislation helps support the ongoing expansion and improvement of telehealth services, which have become increasingly important in delivering healthcare, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
