Rural Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP users would get more specialty care through telehealth.
A new government program would improve access to specialty doctors for people on Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP. It would help those living in rural or underserved areas get care using digital tools like telehealth. The program would connect eligible individuals with specialists through networks of local clinics and hospitals.
Today, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) can test various healthcare models, but it is not required to test a specific model for digital specialty care access. If this bill becomes law, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) would be required to test a new "Specialty Health Care Services Access Model." This model would focus on providing specialty care through digital tools to eligible Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP beneficiaries in rural or underserved areas.
