From Modern Healthcare (link: https://www.modernhealthcare.com/politics-policy/telehealth-extension-remote-patient-monitoring-congress):
A House subcommittee took the next steps Thursday to extend telehealth flexibilities and expanded remote patient monitoring rules due to expire at the end of the year.
The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health voted overwhelmingly to send to the full committee the Telehealth Enhancement for Mental Health Act of 2024, the Telehealth Modernization Act of 2024 and the Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act of 2024.
The telehealth legislation would extend through 2026 authorities that were originally granted during the pandemic, such as Medicare waivers allowing providers to treat patients remotely. It largely mirrors a similar extension passed earlier this month by the House Ways and Means Committee.
