                                  H.R. 1148
           Furthering Access to Stroke Telemedicine Act of 2017

         As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce
                                on October 4, 2017


SUMMARY

H.R. 1148 would expand the use of remote (telehealth) services for Medicare stroke
patients located in non-rural areas. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1148 would
increase direct spending by $180 million over the 2018-2027 period.

Enacting H.R. 1148 would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures
apply. The legislation would not affect revenues.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1148 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits by more than $5 billion in one or more of the four consecutive 10-year
periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 1148 contains no intergovernmental or private sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
