Advanced Safe Testing at Residence Telehealth Act of 2023
The Advanced Safe Testing at Residence Telehealth Act of 2023 establishes a Medicare demonstration program to expand coverage for at-home medical tests and telehealth consultations through Medicare Advantage plans. It requires participating plans to cover specific tests (including cancer screenings, diabetes tests, allergy tests, and respiratory condition diagnostics) and "assistive telehealth consultations" that help patients with at-home testing. The program mandates collection of demographic data on beneficiaries and requires a 5-year evaluation to measure impacts on patient care, hospitalizations, and healthcare costs, with a focus on rural and underserved populations. It also includes a separate pilot program for veterans to access similar services through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
