CCHP’s May Newsletter is Here! The “Creating Opportunities Now for Necessary and Effective Care Technologies (CONNECT) for Health Act of 2021” was recently introduced by Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI).  Having authored previous iterations of this bill, Senator Schatz notes that this Act will promote higher quality of care, increased access to care and reduce spending in Medicare through the expansion of telehealth services. The CONNECT Act was clearly drafted to take into consideration some of the temporary telehealth policy changes installed in response to COVID-19 and some of the issues that have arisen in the past year. For more information, take a look at CCHP’s CONNECT Act fact sheet or read the bill’s summary.
