Audio-Only Telehealth Access Act of 2025

This bill proposes to amend Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, which governs the Medicare program, to specifically address telehealth services. Its core objective is to mandate that Medicare provides coverage and payment for certain telehealth services when they are furnished exclusively through an audio-only communications system . The legislation directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to ensure these services are covered under Medicare Part B. This provision applies to eligible telehealth services provided on or after the first day of the emergency period described in section 1135(g)(1)(B), effectively establishing permanent coverage for audio-only telehealth services that were previously covered during the public health emergency.
