Must-Read: Telehealth Flexibilities Extended—What This Means for You
|
We’re thrilled to share an important update that impacts the future of telehealth. Congress has passed a two-year extension of telehealth flexibilities in the year-end budget bill! This decision is a major win for patients and providers, preserving expanded access to virtual care for Medicare beneficiaries through 2026.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Telehealth services remain accessible for behavioral health, chronic care management, and routine visits.
- Hospital-at-home programs extended for five years to enhance care delivery.
- Investments in broadband infrastructure to close the digital divide in underserved communities.
While this extension is a critical step forward, we can’t stop here. The ultimate goal is to secure permanent legislation by 2027 to ensure telehealth access remains uninterrupted for millions of Americans.
Don’t miss our full breakdown of what this means for you and your patients.
