CMA Special Report: Telehealth and the Medicare Population - Building a Foundation for the Virtual Health Care Revolution
The Center for Medicare Advocacy (CMA) has released a special report, "Telehealth and the Medicare Population: Building a Foundation for the Virtual Health Care Revolution."
The report examines the evolution of telehealth for the Medicare population and explores current gaps in accessibility and infrastructure, discusses how these gaps could stand in the way of ensuring that all Medicare beneficiaries have equal access to the advantages that telehealth can provide, and highlights key policy priorities that should inform the design of future regulation and legislation.
Grounded in research, the report was guided by expert interviews from around the country about the complexities that older adults and people with disabilities face when accessing virtual care. It is aimed at advocates, lawmakers and policy makers to aid in the creation of holistic policies that do not create an unintended consequence of widening the digital divide.
