Lets Medicare users get mental health and substance use care online without in-person rules.
This bill would let people on Medicare get mental health and substance use disorder care through telehealth without needing to visit an office first. It would also make sure that rural and community health centers can keep offering these virtual services permanently, removing upcoming deadlines. This means more flexible access to care for millions.
Today, Medicare users face geographic limits for telehealth mental health and substance use disorder services, and rural and community health centers can only offer these services virtually until April 1, 2025. This bill would remove those geographic limits and make the ability for rural and community health centers to offer virtual mental health care permanent.
