The Telehealth Modernization Act would extend current Medicare telehealth flexibilities through September 30, 2027, ensuring continued access to registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) and other clinician services while Congress works toward permanent reform. Separately, The CONNECT Act makes certain telehealth flexibilities permanent. Supporting both bills gives health care providers two opportunities to advocate for continuity of care for telehealth services beyond the short-term Continuing Resolution bills.

Your voice is needed to ensure Medicare telehealth flexibilities are not only extended but made permanent. Contact your Members of Congress today and urge them to remove barriers to telehealth by supporting the Telehealth Modernization Act.
