Telehealth Access and Medicare

OANA is working with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s office to reverse the unnecessary and harmful rollback of Medicare-covered telehealth services.

Please see our op-ed on this issue here.

We are pleased to report that Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez has now sponsored the CONNECT for Health Act, which would restore and permanently protect Medicare telehealth access.

We also plan to invite her Health Director, Dory Finney, to speak at an upcoming OANA meeting — details to be announced.

We encourage everyone to contact the Congresswoman’s office and express support for this legislation.
