Makes permanent certain provisions relating to reimbursement for commercial and Medicaid services provided via telehealth; establishes the rural health care professional loan award repayment award program

Summary

The bill locks in existing telehealth payment provisions for commercial insurers and Medicaid and sets up two new programs to attract doctors, nurses and other clinicians to rural areas. Eligible providers can receive loan‑repayment awards over five years or a refundable tax credit if they commit to five years of full‑time practice in a designated rural community. The measure is currently referred to the Health Committee.
