The intent of HR 5190 is to amend the Public Health Service Act to provide assistance for health centers and rural health clinics to implement electronic provider consultation and related telemedicine services. This fact sheet summarizes the bill as it pertains to telehealth.
In 2018 CCHP conducted a 50-state scan of occupational therapy and physical therapy policies that was published in the fall 2018 edition of the International Journal of Telerehabilitation.
