Specific to long term care, the funding extends several telehealth policies through December 31, 2027, including:
Geographic Limit Waivers: These preserve telehealth access nationwide whether in a facility or in a beneficiary home such as assisted living and ID/DD settings.
Expanded list of telehealth providers: This preserves the ability for PT/OT/SLP services via telehealth.
Delay of in-person requirements for mental health services furnished via telehealth and telecommunications technology: This preserves access to mental health care especially in provider shortage areas.
Extending the waiver to permit audio-only telehealth services: This preserves access to distant site care providers when telehealth is not available or per patient preference.
Extended use of telehealth for hospice recertifications
