In July 2022, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the Advancing Telehealth Beyond COVID-19 Act (H.R. 4040) to extend Medicare telehealth flexibilities enacted during the COVID-19 public health emergency through December 31, 2024. ACCC joined 375 patient and provider stakeholder groups in encouraging the Senate to adopt similar legislation to ensure a two-year extension to these telehealth policies that would allow beneficiaries to continue to utilize Medicare telehealth services from any location, including the beneficiary's home.
