RT’s Three Key Takeaways:

1. Alliance Leads National Coalition for Telehealth Flexibility Extension: The Alliance is advocating for the continuation of telehealth provisions that have enhanced home health and hospice care across the US.
2. Virtual F2F Recertifications Improve Access and Reduce Burdens: Telehealth flexibility has allowed remote face-to-face recertifications, reducing administrative burdens and improving patient access to essential care services.
3. Bipartisan Legislation Supports Telehealth Extension: The extension of these telehealth provisions is included in bipartisan legislation, HR 8261, which has passed through the House Ways & Means Committee.

The National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance) is spearheading a national coalition of home health, hospice, and palliative care organizations to urge Congress to extend telehealth flexibilities it says have enhanced both home care and hospice care across the United States.
