Congress Expands Telehealth – But Will It Affect Other Health Initiatives? – Fast Company
Congress recently passed its 2022 spending bill, which expanded coverage of telehealth services under CMS.

The provision extends coverage 151 days after the public health emergency ends in April. It adds audiology, OT, PT, and speech pathology to its list of reimbursable telehealth services.
