house 09/18/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to make telehealth payments permanent for federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics under Medicare, ensuring these services remain accessible beyond emergency periods. This includes removing location restrictions and allowing audio-only visits to be covered, so more people in remote areas can get care easily and consistently.
