HIA’s Brett Meeks spoke with Politico about Congress’s efforts and the the timeline needed to extend rules expanding telehealth access for Medicare patients that expire at the end of this year.
Brett Meeks, executive director of the Health Innovation Alliance, said that if Congress waits until late in the year, CMS may have to use an interim final rule without public comment to allow for a telehealth extension. CMS told Pulse it will use “every tool at our disposal” to promote access to technology like telehealth.
