Key points
Telehealth services, including audio-only options, become a permanent part of Medicare, removing temporary restrictions.
The list of eligible practitioners for telehealth services is expanded, increasing access to care.
In-person requirements for certain services like home dialysis, stroke, substance use disorder, and mental health are eliminated, facilitating remote treatment.
