In Fierce Healthcare’s coverage of Congress’s first-dollar telehealth coverage for high deductible health plans, the Alliance for Connected Care’s Executive Director Chris Adamec praised congress for taking permanent action.

“Making permanent the flexibility for health plans and employers to cover telehealth and other remote care services before the deductible is met will expand access to preventive care for more than 30 million Americans with HSA-eligible high-deductible health plans,” Chris Adamec, executive director of the Alliance for Connected Care, said in a statement to Fierce Healthcare. “We commend Congress for taking permanent action to secure telehealth for these individuals.”
