Medicare would ensure coverage for mental and behavioral health services through telehealth.
This bill would make sure Medicare covers both mental and behavioral health services when they are provided through telehealth, like video calls. It would remove old rules and restrictions that limited this coverage. This means people on Medicare would have easier access to these services, and healthcare providers would have clearer guidelines for getting paid.
Today, Medicare covers mental health services through telehealth, but with specific definitions, geographic limits, and other conditions. This bill would change that. After this bill, Medicare would explicitly cover both mental and behavioral health services provided through telehealth, and it would remove many of the previous conditions and restrictions. These changes would apply retroactively to December 2020.
