ATA Action Statement for the Record to House Energy and Commerce Committee

ATA Action submitted a statement for the record to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, expressing support for the bipartisan Telehealth Modernization Act of 2024 (H.R. 7623), which aims to extend Medicare telehealth flexibilities through 2026. The statement highlights the importance of these provisions in expanding access to care, particularly for mental health services, and urges Congress to maintain these flexibilities to prevent disruptions in patient care. Additionally, ATA Action emphasized the need for the DEA to issue a special registration rule to continue the remote prescribing of controlled substances, warning of a potential public health crisis if current waivers are not extended.
