Advancing Access to Telehealth Act
Introduced Nov 25, 2025 by Rep. Debbie Dingell
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill modifies requirements relating to coverage of telehealth services under Medicare.
Specifically, the bill permanently extends certain flexibilities that were initially authorized during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19. Among other things, the bill allows (1) rural health clinics and federally qualified health centers to serve as the distant site (i.e., the location of the health care practitioner); (2) the home of a beneficiary to serve as the originating site (i.e., the location of the beneficiary) for all services (rather than for only certain services); and (3) audiologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists to furnish telehealth services.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
