Two bills recently introduced in the House aim to permanently extend rural telehealth access and expand the list of practitioners able to provide virtual care.
This week, bills to permanently extend several pandemic-era waivers were introduced in the United States House of Representatives.
The first bill would permanently allow federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and rural health clinics (RHCs) to provide telehealth services. FQHCs and RHCs began receiving reimbursement for telehealth services through the Medicare program during the COVID-19 pandemic. This flexibility is currently set to expire at the end of 2024.
Rep. Greg Murphy, MD (NC-03) first introduced the bill in the House in July 2022, along with Reps. Yvette Herrell (NV-02) and Michael C. Burgess, MD (TX-26).
