AMIA Joins Request for Long-Term Fix to Medicare Telehealth

As one of 450 stakeholders, AMIA calls on Congress for permanent Medicare telehealth legislation. The current lapse affects 4+ million beneficiaries and 30% of providers delivering virtual care, disrupting healthcare innovation and informatics infrastructure. Temporary extensions create instability impeding technology adoption and evidence-based implementation. AMIA supports retroactive payment restoration and long-term policy clarity to ensure predictable, sustainable telehealth access for vulnerable populations requiring continuous care coordination.
