Home-Based Telemental Health Care Act of 2023

This bill creates a federal grant program to expand access to mental health care for rural residents and those working in farming, fishing, or forestry (Triple-F industry). It authorizes up to $10 million annually (2024-2028) for nonprofit or public organizations to deliver home-based telemental health services - using video or phone - directly to patients in their homes. The program specifically targets areas with health professional shortages or Triple-F workers, requiring grantees to measure service quality compared to in-person care. Reports on outcomes must be submitted to Congress after three years to evaluate effectiveness.
