HR Bill 2263 Telehealth Coverage Act of 2025Updated 5 days ago

Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-03-21

Bill 119 HR 2263, also known as the "Telehealth Modernization Act," aims to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to make certain telehealth fle...

xibilities under the Medicare program permanent. The bill seeks to expand access to telehealth services for Medicare beneficiaries by removing barriers and restrictions that have hindered the widespread adoption of telehealth. The key provisions of the bill include allowing Medicare beneficiaries to receive telehealth services from their homes, rather than having to travel to a healthcare facility. This change is particularly important for individuals living in rural or underserved areas who may have limited access to healthcare services. Additionally, the bill aims to ensure that telehealth services are reimbursed at the same rate as in-person services, making it financially feasible for healthcare providers to offer telehealth options to their patients. Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to improve the quality of telehealth services by requiring healthcare providers to meet certain standards and guidelines when delivering care remotely. This will help ensure that patients receive high-quality care regardless of whether they are seeing their healthcare provider in person or through a telehealth platform. Overall, the Telehealth Modernization Act is a bipartisan effort to modernize the Medicare program and expand access to telehealth services for beneficiaries. By making certain telehealth flexibilities permanent, the bill aims to improve healthcare access and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries across the country.

Recent Activity

Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
