📲 Join ADVION as we celebrate Telehealth Awareness Week. We recognize the senior population our members serve where virtual care is far more than a convenience. It's often what makes care possible, bridging clinician shortages, reaching rural and underserved areas, and helping an already stretched workforce reach seniors where they live.
🏠 For many older adults, getting to an appointment can be the biggest barrier to care. Telehealth brings care to the patient while supporting continued treatment, enabling timely check-ins, and helping clinicians address concerns before they become hospitalizations.
🏛️ Congress extended Medicare's telehealth flexibilities through 2027. That's a good start, but it isn't enough. Providers can't build lasting programs on two-year deadlines, and seniors shouldn't lose access to their therapist every time a funding bill stalls. It's time to make these flexibilities permanent, including the ability of PTs, OTs, and SLPs to furnish telehealth under Medicare.
