Greater Access to Telehealth: Extending Services Until 2027
This bill aims to extend access to telehealth services, which became popular during the pandemic. This means citizens will be able to continue receiving remote medical advice and other health services without needing an in-person visit. These changes will make healthcare more accessible, especially for those in rural areas or with difficulty traveling to medical facilities.
Key points
Telehealth services, including audio-only consultations, will be available until the end of 2026, ensuring continuity of remote care.
The in-person visit requirement for mental health telehealth services will be delayed until 2027, making psychological support more accessible.
Expansion of eligible practitioners and originating sites for telehealth services increases flexibility and access to care.
The safe harbor for telehealth deductibles in high-deductible health plans is extended until 2027, potentially reducing costs for patients.
