Congress: Support Legislation For Telehealth during COVID-19 and beyond!

The current COVID-19 health crisis has put a massive strain on the health care system in our country. During this time, telehealth services have emerged as a critical tool to provide care to patients while supporting physical distancing efforts and reducing the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.

Stories are coming in from all over the country from physicians and patients alike about the positive effects of expanding telehealth. It has allowed patients to continue to receive high-quality care using new digital tools.

"Telehealth has become a critical and necessary pathway for me to continue treating patients during this pandemic." – Dr. Stephen M., TX

"I've been doing it for months now. Weekly visits with my mental health counselor are my lifeline during Covid-19." – Bob P.

While we must remain vigilant in our battle with COVID-19, it is important to recognize that expanded use of telehealth technology should have a place in our health care system permanently.

Bipartisan legislation was recently introduced in both the House and Senate to make the expanded access to telehealth services permanent. The Telehealth Modernization Act of 2020 (H.R. 8727/S. 4375) would lift the rural-only restriction and add any site where a patient is located as a potential originating site. This would ensure all Medicare beneficiaries may receive covered Medicare telehealth benefits, including at home and via mobile technologies as appropriate.

Please contact your Senators and member of Congress and ask them to support The Telehealth Modernization Act of 2020 (H.R. 8727/S. 4375) today!

Dear Decisionmakers:

The current COVID-19 health crisis has put a massive strain on the health care system in our country. During this time telehealth services have emerged as a critical tool to provide care to patients while supporting physical distancing efforts and reducing the spread of COVID-19 by avoiding unnecessary outpatient visits.

Stories are coming in from all over the country from physicians and patients alike about the positive effects of expanded telehealth. It has continued to allow physicians to provide high-quality care using new digital tools.

Bipartisan legislation was recently introduced in Congress to make the expanded access to telehealth services permanent. The Telehealth Modernization Act of 2020 (H.R. 8727/S. 4375) would lift the rural-only restriction and add any site where a patient is located as a potential originating site. This would ensure all Medicare beneficiaries may receive covered Medicare telehealth benefits, including at home and via mobile technologies.

I urge you to support The Telehealth Modernization Act of 2020 (H.R. 8727/S. 4375) to ensure that all Medicare patients have access to telehealth benefits!
