Update on Telehealth's Future

Over the last few days, there have been some significant developments in our ability to continue providing telehealth services to our patients…….

First is the extension of the National Health Emergency by the HHS. These declarations extend the relaxation of the restrictions for another 90 days.

Second is the letter from the American Telemedicine Association to Congress supporting HR 7663 which makes many of those changes permanent. It was signed by over 200 healthcare organizations, including Leadership OD.

It is important to realize that an “emergency” can’t last forever. Sooner or later, it just has to become “the way it is.”
