Urge your Senators to Extend Telehealth Flexibilities

Telehealth irrevocably transformed into an indispensable part of our healthcare system. It has been critical for mitochondrial patients to receive care in their homes and access specialists regardless of where they live. However, many of the flexibilities afforded under the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency are only temporary. In July, thanks in part to UMDF efforts, the House passed the Advancing Telehealth Beyond COVID-19 Act (H.R. 4040) by a vote of 416-12. This bill would guarantee many of these critical telehealth flexibilities through 2024. We encourage you to reach out to your Senators and ask them to pass this important piece of legislation as it continues to work on permanent telehealth reform.
