CCHP held its fourth Medicaid and State Telehealth Policy Webinar series this past June.  This popular series continued with four new telehealth policy topics that are of great interest to the field.  While previous series have almost always focused on Medicaid policy, the Summer Series took a different track by examining other telehealth policy issues that are in the jurisdiction or have a significant impact on state policy.

CCHP’s August Newsletter is Here! This month’s topics include – Advancing Telehealth Beyond COVID-19 Act of 2022 – HR 4040 (Rep. Cheney R-WY); New Rules take Shape for CMS’ Newest Entity, Rural Emergency Hospitals (REHs); Federal Guidance on Nondiscrimination in Telehealth; Lawsuit Challenges Constitutionality of FCC’s Universal Service Fund; Latest Policy Developments in CCHP’s Telehealth Policy Finder and Policy Trends Map; Federal Public Health Emergency Extended; In case you missed it:  2023 PFS Proposed Rule Factsheet; Multiple Federal Bills on Telehealth Abortion Allowance; AJMC Study Finds Patients Benefit from Telemedicine with Rheumatic Disease. 

The new Uniform Telehealth Act states that services can be provided via telehealth consistent with existing practitioner standards of care and it also establishes a registration process allowing out-of-state providers to deliver services through telehealth to patients in states that choose to adopt the Act.
