Telehealth Modernization Act
The Telehealth Modernization Act extends key Medicare telehealth flexibilities through 2027, removing geographic restrictions and allowing audio-only visits. It expands who can provide telehealth services (including nurse practitioners and rural health clinics) and requires new guidance for serving patients with limited English proficiency. The bill also extends certain hospice care provisions and includes virtual diabetes prevention program options. These changes directly affect Medicare beneficiaries, healthcare providers, and telehealth technology companies.
