In March 2022, Congress granted an extension of Medicare telehealth flexibilities for an additional 151 days after the expiration of the federal public health emergency. Given this dynamic, it is likely that these flexibilities, which are critical to the ability of health centers to continue offering telehealth care, will expire at the tail end of 2022. This session will thus focus on a discussion of the current telehealth policy landscape, expected congressional actions into 2023 and other key emerging issues, including cross-state licensure and remote patient monitoring.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the current telehealth policy landscape in Congress, including recent actions and expected future priorities as well as potential policy, research, and communications elements related to this landscape.
- Identify ways that health centers, PCAs, and HCCNs can continue to demonstrate the effectiveness and impact of telehealth on patients and the resulting ways this information can influence policy.
- Discuss the position and posture of health centers, PCAs, and HCCNs on other emerging issues in telehealth policy, including the ability of providers to offer care across state-lines, reimbursement for remote patient monitoring (RPM) and others.
