Key points
End of geographic restrictions: Seniors will be able to use telehealth from any location, not just designated facilities.
Expanded originating sites: Your home will be recognized as a place from which you can receive telehealth services, increasing convenience and access to care.
Permanent solution: These changes will be permanent, regardless of the end of the current emergency period.
