re: telehealth

 

Folks in more than 80% of counties across our country don’t have access to the quality healthcare services they need. The lack of access to quality care has always concerned me. That’s why I’ve fought for years to make sure more New Mexicans, especially those in rural areas, have access to telehealth. The pandemic brought on even more barriers to care, so I helped pass COVID-19 legislation to expand access to telehealth services for Medicare beneficiaries during the pandemic. Telehealth helps broaden access to care, cuts down healthcare costs, and achieves better patient outcomes. It’s been instrumental to providing quality care while keeping medical providers safe. The next step is making the telehealth expansion permanent to ensure Medicare beneficiaries don’t see a sudden halt in telehealth services, and that a wider variety of healthcare providers can offer telehealth services. I hope you’ll join me in supporting permanent expansion of telehealth services. Add your name — MartinThanks for your help on this critical issue.
