Telehealth Access for Tribal Communities Act of 2025

The "Telehealth Access for Tribal Communities Act of 2025" aims to make permanent crucial telehealth flexibilities under the Medicare program for services provided by Indian health programs and urban Indian organizations . This legislation specifically amends the Social Security Act to ensure that, for these programs, the patient's home or any location in the United States can serve as an originating site for telehealth services furnished on or after April 1, 2025. Furthermore, the bill mandates permanent Medicare coverage and payment for certain audio-only telehealth services delivered by these same Indian health programs and urban Indian organizations. These provisions are intended to maintain access to care for eligible telehealth individuals within tribal communities, building upon flexibilities initially established during emergency periods.
