Title XVIII of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq. ), as amended by section 101, is amended by adding at the end the following new section: The Secretary shall waive certain applicable provisions of section 1834(m) and section 1861(iii) as a condition of payment for telehealth or remote patient monitoring services for a qualifying APM participant (as defined in section 1833(z)(2)). The provisions to be waived under the preceding sentence include any limitation on what qualifies as an originating site, any geographic limitation (subject to State licensing requirements), any limitation on the use of store-and-forward technologies, or any limitation on the type of health care provider who may furnish such services (provided the provider is a Medicare enrolled provider).
A qualifying APM participant (as so defined) who furnishes telehealth or remote patient monitoring services under this section shall, on an annual basis, submit to the Secretary information requested by the Secretary for evaluation of the implementation of this section, including information on utilization and expenditures for telehealth or remote patient monitoring services under this section during the preceding year and data on any applicable quality measures, consistent with sections 1848 and 1833(z).
If the Secretary determines payments for telehealth or remote patient monitoring services under this section will increase expenditures under this title, the Secretary shall make adjustments to such payments to eliminate such increased expenditures. . The amendment made by this section shall apply with respect to services furnished on or after January 1, 2017.
