“We need a permanent solution for Telehealth access!
While Congress recently extended Medicare telehealth flexibilities through January 2026, temporary patches aren’t enough. Telehealth has been a lifeline for cancer patients, rural communities, and those facing barriers to in-person visits. We need certainty to ensure uninterrupted access to high-quality care.
I am joining the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in urging the US Congress to pass the bipartisan CONNECT for Health Act of 2025. This legislation will permanently extend these essential flexibilities for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services providers and beneficiaries.
Call to Action: Please take a moment today to contact your lawmakers and ask them to support the permanent extension of Medicare telehealth flexibilities. Patient care depends on it!”
