Increased Support for Telehealth in Rural and Frontier Areas.
This act aims to expand access to remote medical services (telehealth) for residents in rural and frontier areas. States that provide a wide range of telehealth services under Medicaid will receive increased financial support from the federal government. This will make it easier for residents in these regions to access healthcare without long travel.
Key points
Increased funding for states offering telehealth services under Medicaid, especially in rural and underserved broadband areas.
Facilitating access to remote medical services, including audio-only consultations, for people living in remote regions.
Support for states that have maintained or increased their level of telehealth services since early 2021.
