From Modern Healthcare (link: https://www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-policy/telehealth-rules-waiver-extension-congress):
Congress took the first step Wednesday to extend expiring telehealth rules, hospital at home services and other programs aimed at rural hospitals.
The House Ways and Means Committee passed the Preserving Telehealth, Hospital, and Ambulance Access Act of 2024 by a vote of 31-0, setting it up for passage by the full House later this year.
The bill would extend for two years telehealth rules adopted during the pandemic that are due to expire at the end of the year, as well as extend similar rules for Medicare's hospital at home program for five years.
