Chief Healthcare Executive September 20, 2024
The House Energy & Commerce Committee has passed the legislation, but some key provisions for telehealth are slated to expire at the end of the year.
It has taken longer than some healthcare advocates would like, but a measure to extend key telehealth programs is moving forward in Congress.
This week, the House & Energy Commerce Committee passed the Telehealth Modernization Act with more than bipartisan support. The committee approved the measure unanimously with a 41-0 vote Wednesday, along with a host of other health bills.
The bill (H.R. 7263) continues many telehealth flexibilities for an additional two years, through the end of 2026. The legislation would also provide a five-year extension for hospital-at-home programs.
