WASHINGTON, April 3, 2025 – A bipartisan group of more than 60 senators reintroduced a bill Thursday to make permanent Covid-era rules that loosen restrictions on Medicare coverage for telehealth services. 

The flexibilities were most recently extended last month as part of the stopgap measure keeping the government funded.

They’re now set to expire on Sept. 30 absent more Congressional action.
