Expanding Access to Telehealth and Remote Care
This act aims to facilitate access to remote medical services, such as telehealth. This means more people will be able to receive medical advice and other health services without needing an in-person visit, which is especially important for rural residents, the elderly, or those with limited mobility. It also introduces security measures to prevent abuse.
Key points
Removal of geographic restrictions for telehealth, making it easier to access doctors regardless of location.
Expansion of eligible facilities and practitioners for telehealth services, including rural health clinics and Native American health facilities.
Improved telehealth access for individuals with limited English proficiency and disabilities, through dedicated resources and training.
Strengthened oversight of telehealth to prevent fraud and abuse, while providing support for patients and service providers.
