ACCP Advocacy Action Alert! Urge Congress to Permanently Maintain and Enhance Telehealth Flexibility
The growth of telehealth services during the pandemic rapidly opened new opportunities for patients to access vital health care services, particularly for those in rural or medically underserved areas. ACCP endorsed the CONNECT for Health Act of 2023 to expand coverage of telehealth services through Medicare, make permanent COVID-19 telehealth flexibilities, improve health outcomes, and make it easier for patients to connect with their providers.
