This section amends the Social Security Act to expand the availability of in-home cardiopulmonary rehabilitation services through telehealth.

The amendments broaden the types of practitioners, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists, who can provide telehealth services. Geographic restrictions for telehealth services related to cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are removed when provided in specific originating sites. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is directed to establish standards for designating an individual's home as a provider-based organization for hospital-affiliated rehabilitation programs. These standards will also specify cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs as telehealth services under existing law.
