Resources & Reports

Earlier this month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published their final rule for “Medicare and Medicaid Programs and the Children’s Health Insurance Program; Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems for Acute Care Hospitals and the Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System and Policy Changes and Fiscal Year 2025 Rates; Quality Program Requirements; and Other Policy Changes.” (Note: This link is to the unpublished version.  The final version will appear in the Federal Register on August 28, 2024).

CCHP’s August Newsletter is here! This month’s topics include – MedPac Report on Telehealth Services: Insights and Implications; Ensuring High-Quality, Cost-Effective Care: BPC’s Telehealth Policy Recommendations; New Lawsuit Challenges California’s Telehealth Restrictions; CHAI Releases New Assurance Standards Guide; Supreme Court Overturns Chevron Defense: Major Implications for Health Policy Legislation and Rulemaking; Latest Policy Developments in CCHP’s Telehealth Policy Finder and Policy Trends Map; Telehealth in New York State; Telemedicine Referrals for Opioid Use Disorder: A Promising Alternative. 

Given that the technical assistance questions the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) receives most often are related to cross-state practice via telehealth, CCHP has created several new resources related to licensure that are now available:

• Out-of-State Telehealth Provider Policies Fact Sheet
• Policy Trend Map
• Cross-State Licensure and Compacts Webinar Recording
