Members of the House and Senate Telehealth Caucus introduced the CONNECT for Health Act (S. 1512 and H.R. 2903), to remove permanently all geographic restrictions on Medicare telehealth services and expand originating sites to include home and other sites. The bill also would expand telehealth for emergency medical care; waive restrictions on telehealth use during national and public health emergencies; and allow rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers to serve as distant sites.
