HIA’s support for a provision in reconciliation that would allow high-deductible health plans with health savings accounts to cover telehealth before patients hit their deductible was included in Bloomberg‘s coverage of the Republican bill.
Health tech groups celebrated the measures’ telehealth impacts.
“As technology continues to evolve and improve, the Health Innovation Alliance encourages Congress to make it a priority to allow technology to be easily incorporated into the healthcare system, without the unnecessary worry about if or when it could be taken away,” the Health Innovation Alliance said in a statement.
“Technology, like telehealth and AI, gives Americans access to better, more affordable care and should be championed,” the group added.
