The House Energy & Commerce Committee considered sixteen bills on September 18, including the bipartisan Telehealth Modernization Act (H.R. 7623). This NACHC-endorsed bill includes:
· a two-year extension of existing Medicare telehealth coverage flexibilities involving health center patients and providers’ locations and audio-only access, and
· a fix in the disparity in payment between in-person and telehealth medical visits, which would increase telehealth visits by about $100.
