The year-end package includes two-year extensions for Medicare telehealth flexibilities enacted during the pandemic and the Acute Hospital Care at Home Program.
The year-end $1.7 trillion spending bill includes provisions to extend pandemic-era telehealth and hospital-at-home waivers for two years.
The legislation, released Tuesday, aims to avert a government shutdown and includes several healthcare provisions, including reducing the 2023 Medicare payment cuts to 2 percent from 4.5 percent.
In a win for telehealth proponents, the sweeping bill also includes a two-year extension of telehealth-related regulatory flexibilities for Medicare beneficiaries put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic. A previous bill extended these flexibilities for five months after the public health emergency expires.
