Chris Adamec, executive director of the Alliance for Connected Care was quoted in Fierce Healthcare on the importance of Medicare telehealth services. Joining with almost 350 other organizations, the Alliance sent a letter to Congressional leadership urging lawmakers to extend expiring Medicare telehealth flexibilities and to restore telehealth access lost by commercially insured patients in December.

“If Congress were to fail to extend telehealth, they would be shooting the administration in the foot and their efforts to address chronic disease and scale highly efficient interventions,” Adamec said.
