Telehealth Post-Pandemic: Assessing Access, Efficiency, and Future Options.
This act mandates studies and reports on the expansion of telehealth services under Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal is to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of these services, their public health impact, and identify potential fraud, aiming to ensure citizens have access to improved and secure remote healthcare options in the future.
Key points
The government will study how telehealth worked during the pandemic in Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP to assess its effectiveness.
Reports will evaluate who used telehealth (e.g., seniors, rural residents), what services were available, and if fraud occurred.
Study findings will help improve and expand future telehealth access, potentially making it easier for citizens to see doctors from home.
