Plain-English Summary

The legislation would allow mental health providers to offer therapy and counseling services to patients through video calls and other remote technology from their homes, rather than requiring them to work only from traditional office settings. This change would make mental health care more accessible and convenient for patients who struggle to travel to appointments, while giving therapists more flexibility in how they work. The bill would apply to various mental health professionals including psychologists, counselors, and social workers who treat patients covered by Medicare and other insurance programs.
