Summary
It can be hard to keep track of federal telehealth legislation in a sea of legislative and regulatory health care priorities, so the team at Wynne Health Group has made it easy for you. We created a side-by-side (SBS) summarizing five key telehealth bills introduced in the 116th Congress:
- ECHO Act of 2019;
- Mental Health Telemedicine Expansion Act;
- CONNECT for Health Act 2019;
- BREATHE Act; and
- National Telehealth Strategy and Data Advancement Act.
The SBS provides a synopsis of each bill, highlights any proposed changes to the Medicare originating site requirements (key for Medicare reimbursement), and includes information about when and where the bill was introduced, as well as who the sponsor is and the number of co-sponsors by party affiliation.
