Permanent Telehealth from Home Act

This bill makes Medicare telehealth from home permanent. It removes old rules that limited telehealth to certain rural areas or clinics, and lets people use telehealth from any location, including their home. It does this by changing Medicare law to remove the time-limited and geography-based restrictions so the expanded access continues going forward.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People with Medicare and their doctors and clinics.
• What changes: Any place can count as the “originating site” for a telehealth visit, including your home; prior location and geography limits are removed .
• When: Permanently, continuing after the public health emergency period rather than ending on a set date.
