AAPP joined more than 450 organizations in pushing congressional leaders to reinstate lapsed telehealth flexibilities for the long term. Lawmakers have been providing temporary extensions to telehealth policies that, among other flexibilities, allow Medicare beneficiaries to receive medical care in their homes. The policies started during the Covid-19 pandemic, and Congress continued them but never made them permanent. “This cycle of temporary fixes has resulted in patients and providers facing continued disruptions in care,” the groups, co-led by the Alliance for Connected Care, wrote to House and Senate leaders.
