This bill would create a federal grant program to provide mental health and substance use services by phone or video to people in their homes. It would cover rural areas with a shortage of health professionals and people who work in farming, fishing, or forestry. Grants would go to public or nonprofit telemental health provider networks, which could use the money to deliver services, measure quality compared to in-person care, expand broadband, and provide devices to patients. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would report to Congress on the program, and up to $10 million per year could be used for fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
