     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Expanded Telehealth Access Act&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill permanently allows audiologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and other providers designated by the Centers for Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide telehealth services under Medicare. &lt;p&gt;Currently, the CMS is authorized to waive requirements for Medicare telehealth services during the public health emergency relating to COVID-19, and it has done so to allow all providers that are otherwise eligible to furnish in-person services under Medicare to also furnish telehealth services.&lt;/p&gt;
