What this bill would do

The Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the Home Act aims to amend the Social Security Act. It seeks to permanently extend specific flexibilities for in-home cardiopulmonary rehabilitation that were established during the COVID-19 response. The bill modifies how telehealth services are handled for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs. It allows these services to be furnished in an individual's home via two-way audio-visual communications technology. Additionally, it expands the definition of originating sites and directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create specific standards for these programs.
