Without congressional action, current Medicare telehealth flexibilities will expire on September 30. It's crucial that Congress hears from you about the importance of continued access to telehealth services for patients with cancer.
If Congress fails to act, pre-pandemic telehealth restrictions will return. This means patients will have to be in a designated rural area and go to an approved site, rather than their own homes, to receive telehealth care.
For patients with cancer, telehealth provides essential access to care for those who need it most, and we cannot allow these flexibilities to expire.
Please urge your lawmakers to safeguard our patients' access to telehealth before the deadline!
