Telehealth Access for Tribal Communities Act of 2024

This bill makes permanent Medicare telehealth flexibilities for Indian health programs and urban Indian organizations. It allows patients in tribal communities to receive covered telehealth services from home (not just medical facilities) and expands coverage to include audio-only visits starting January 1, 2025. The policy directly affects tribal health providers, urban Indian organizations, and Medicare beneficiaries living in tribal communities who rely on these services. These changes ensure consistent access to telehealth care under Medicare without requiring physical clinic visits for eligible patients.
