Preventing Medicare Telefraud Act

This bill establishes conditions for payment of certain telehealth services, laboratory tests, and durable medical equipment under Medicare.

Specifically, the bill conditions payment for certain high-cost laboratory tests and durable medical equipment that are ordered via telehealth on at least one in-person visit during the preceding six-month period. Additionally, practitioners must submit claims for separately billable telehealth services under the practitioner's unique national provider identification number.
