## Summary

**Mandatory public reporting on Medicare telehealth use** would require CMS to publish annual, detailed reports on telehealth claims and a public, searchable dashboard that explains the methods used. It would also direct CMS to analyze billing patterns that may indicate improper billing and require an audit of implementation by the Comptroller General. - Medicare beneficiaries: Public reports would show who uses telehealth and where, with data by age, race, income indicators, disability, and preferred language, and would flag populations with materially below‑average use. - Rural and low-income communities: Reports must include state and rural versus urban counts and, where available, describe broadband or technology barriers using federal data. - Clinicians and practices: CMS would publish counts of clinicians who furnished telehealth, their specialties, and any barriers reported by practitioners, while the bill bars new reporting duties on those clinicians for this report. - Oversight and fraud control: The report must include analyses of claim characteristics that suggest improper billing and descriptions of actions to detect and prevent fraud, and the Comptroller General would audit implementation and offer recommendations.
