BREAKING NEWS: BILL PASSES HOUSE FOR TELEHEALTH PROVISIONS – SENATE MUST APPROVE FOR A 6-MONTH EXTENSION
Through ASIPP’s extensive advocacy efforts, we were successful in getting language included in the continuing resolution to fund the government through September. This resolution would extend telehealth provisions for another 6 months.
The bill passed in the House on Wednesday while the ASIPP group was still on Capitol Hill. It appears that the extension is working its way through the Senate for approval. We are encouraged, but it has not yet been finalized.
While this is a temporary measure, our focus remains on securing a long-term solution. Many members of Congress and the Senate are advocating for a more permanent extension, ideally lasting 5 to 6 years or longer. ASIPP will continue pushing for this critical advancement.
We will provide further updates on our Capitol Hill visits and ongoing advocacy efforts soon.
