Senate Sen. Wicker, Roger F. [R-MS] MS R W000437 1 Reaching Underserved Rural Areas to Lead on Telehealth Act This bill directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to remove regulatory limitations on the reimbursement amounts that certain large non-rural hospitals may receive for universal service support from the Healthcare Connect Fund, which provides support for high-capacity broadband connectivity to eligible health care providers. The FCC must allow an eligible non-rural health care provider to receive universal service support if: (1) the majority of locations it serves are in rural areas, and (2) the provider serves as a consortium leader of a group of health care provider sites that request support through a single application. 2023-01-11T13:33:13Z
