## Summary

**Makes Medicare telehealth for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation permanent and expands access to patients' homes.** The bill would codify COVID-era in-home telehealth flexibilities for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, remove certain geographic limits for specified originating sites, and require the HHS Secretary to set standards for designating homes as provider-based hospital outpatient locations. - Medicare beneficiaries: Would preserve access to home-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, pulmonary rehabilitation, and intensive cardiac rehabilitation delivered via two-way audio-visual telehealth. - Hospitals and providers: Would allow a patient's home to be designated as a provider-based location of a hospital outpatient department and ensure these rehab programs are covered telehealth services under Medicare. - HHS and regulators: Directs the Secretary to issue rulemaking defining standards for home provider-based designation under Hospital Without Walls waivers and to include these programs under applicable telehealth authorities. The standards would take effect on the date they are issued.
