Lets more people use telehealth for end-of-life care planning and hospice services.
This bill would make it easier for people to plan their end-of-life care and access hospice services by expanding telehealth options. It would also create a national public education campaign and new training for healthcare providers to better support these important decisions. However, it would remove a current requirement for states to provide advance directive information to Medicaid recipients.
Today, Medicare telehealth for hospice recertification is temporary, and advance care planning telehealth has geographic limits. There is no national public education campaign for end-of-life planning, and states must provide advance directive information to Medicaid recipients. This bill would make telehealth for hospice recertification permanent and remove geographic limits for advance care planning telehealth. It would also create a national public education campaign and end the state requirement for Medicaid advance directive information.
