HR 6364 United States House · 118th Congress

Medicare Telehealth Privacy Act of 2023

This bill prevents Medicare from publicly disclosing a physician's or practitioner's home address if they provide telehealth services from home and the address is required for enrollment or billing. It directly affects doctors and healthcare providers who choose to deliver telehealth services from their residences. The key provision amends Medicare rules to ensure that even when an address is needed for administrative purposes, the home location remains private and cannot be shared publicly. This is a specific privacy safeguard, not a broad policy change to telehealth services.
