H.R. 2263: Telehealth Coverage Act of 2025

This bill, known as the Telehealth Coverage Act of 2025, aims to make several provisions regarding telehealth services under the Medicare program permanent and to enhance telehealth access for Medicare beneficiaries. Here is a summary of the main points:

Permanent Telehealth Flexibilities

The bill amends the Social Security Act to establish the following permanent changes related to telehealth:

  • Expanded Access: It allows for telehealth services to be provided beyond the previously set expiration date of March 31, 2025.
  • Eligible Practitioners: The changes broaden the types of healthcare providers who are allowed to offer telehealth services.

Telehealth Services from Specific Health Facilities

The legislation extends the ability of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) to provide telehealth services permanently.

Audio-Only Telehealth Services

Under the amended provisions, telehealth services utilizing only audio technology will continue to be covered permanently, providing easier access for beneficiaries who may not have video technology.

In-Person Requirement Eliminations

The bill eliminates certain in-person visit requirements for specific telehealth services such as:

  • Home dialysis monthly visits.
  • Stroke telehealth services.
  • Mental health and substance use disorder services.

Telehealth and Hospice Care

It allows telehealth to be used for face-to-face encounters prior to hospice care recertification and ensures claims for such telehealth interactions include specified modifiers beginning January 1, 2026.

Modifiers for Claims

The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and implement the use of specific codes or modifiers for telehealth claims, focusing on services provided via telehealth platforms by contracted providers.

Support for Non-English Speakers

The legislation mandates the development of guidance on best practices for providing telehealth services to individuals with limited English proficiency, including:

  • Incorporating interpreters during appointments.
  • Facilitating access to telecommunications.
  • Providing patient communications in multiple languages.

In-Home Rehabilitation Services

The bill allows in-home cardiopulmonary rehabilitation services to be provided through telehealth, including using audio and video real-time communications technology.

Diabetes Prevention Program Changes

It revises regulations to allow entities to offer online diabetes prevention services through telehealth starting January 1, 2026, broadening access to these services.

Education on Medication-Induced Disorders

The bill requires outreach and education for healthcare providers on monitoring and screening for movement disorders caused by medications, particularly in patients with mental health issues.

Program Implementation Authority

The Secretary of Health and Human Services is granted authority to implement these amendments through program instruction or other means as necessary.

Relevant Companies

  • SWY - Companies involved in telehealth platforms could be impacted as the demand for telehealth services increases.
  • AMZN - Amazon and its health services may benefit from increased telehealth usage.
  • MDGL - Telehealth-related healthcare providers could experience changes in operational procedures and service delivery.
