Title

Advancing Access to Telehealth Act

Summary

Advancing Access to Telehealth Act This bill modifies requirements relating to coverage of telehealth services under Medicare.

Among other things, the bill allows (1) rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers to serve as the distant site (i.e., the location of the health care practitioner); (2) the home of a beneficiary to serve as the originating site (i.e., the location of the beneficiary) for all services (rather than for only certain services); and (3) audiologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists to furnish telehealth services.
