Easier Access to Remote Health Monitoring for Medicare Beneficiaries

This act aims to ensure that remote health monitoring services (e.g., blood pressure, sugar levels) are more accessible to individuals using the Medicare program. This means doctors can monitor patients remotely for a longer period, regardless of COVID-19 diagnosis, potentially improving healthcare and reducing the need for in-person visits.
Key points
Ensures payment for remote health monitoring for at least 2 days of data over a 30-day period, regardless of COVID-19 diagnosis.
Extends the availability of remote health monitoring under Medicare for 2 years after the end of the emergency period.
Requires government reports on the optimal number of monitoring days, considering various conditions and expert opinions.
