A House committee has advanced legislation to extend Medicare telehealth flexibilities and a home hospital program adopted during the pandemic. The bills now face a vote by the full House of Representatives. This extension is similar to previous bills proposed in May and sets up negotiations with the Senate to extend the telehealth policies that are set to expire at the end of December. The extension allows Medicare enrollees to receive care over telehealth in various settings and expands access to telehealth services. This move aims to continue providing healthcare access to individuals during and after the pandemic.
