Telehealth Call to Action

UUCM Member Jen Barnes is asking for your support, Telehealth for Medicare recipients will be discontinued March 31, 2025 unless Congress takes immediate action. It was supposed to have a two year renewal period but to stop a government shutdown it was only extended a few months past expiration on 12/31/2024. In Jen’s experience, once a regulation is lifted/policy shifts, commercial insurers tend to follow suit, so this could have an impact on Medicare Advantage patients and perhaps all of us at some point. This will have a significant negative impact on seniors and people with disabilities, particularly those without transportation or in rural areas. Click here to take action.
