What it does
The bill tells Medicare to publish a yearly report about remote doctor visits. The report shows how many claims were filed and where patients live. It shows who used remote visits and whether fraud happened. Medicare must put this data on a public website people can search. This must happen within 180 days. Doctors do not have to do extra work because Medicare already has all this data.
Who it affects
People who get Medicare can see if remote visits reach rural and low-income areas fairly. The bill does not cost Medicare patients money or make doctors do more work.
One thing to notice
The bill shows what data Medicare already collects but does not share. Publishing this data may show which areas have less remote visit access.
