eHI Letter to Congress: Urge Congress to Include Telehealth in End of Year Package & Extend Flexibilities Through the End of 2021

December 14, 2020

We applaud Congress for its recent steps to increase access to health care services via telehealth. While we seek permanent reforms to enable Medicare beneficiaries to continue to access services via telehealth once the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) ends, we write today to express our support for provisions, proposed by a bipartisan group of Senators, that would extend temporary telehealth flexibilities until the end of 2021 in an end-of-year package to fund the federal government.
