At the last minute, Congress finally passed a bill as part of the continuing funding resolution that will allow Medicare coverage of telemental health (and all telehealth) until March 31, 2025, and keep the Federal government running. The Senate and the President signed the bill before midnight today. Thanks to all CSWA members who wrote legislators to ask that telemental health coverage be continued.
This is far less than the two-year extension that had been proposed earlier in the week, which was stopped by the incoming administration and Republicans in Congress. Instead, a new bill will have to be passed before this one runs out to extend telemental health further.
CSWA will continue to push Congress to make a more meaningful extension of telemental health. Let me know if you have any questions.
