"Hi, this is {Your Name}. I’m a constituent calling to urge {Member's name] to save telemedicine.

​

I am asking {Member's name] to support two bipartisan bills that will make many of the Medicare telehealth flexibilities permanent: The Telehealth Modernization Act (S.2709) and the CONNECT for Health Act (H.R. 4206 / S.1261).

​

As a constituent {living with / or taking care of someone with} a chronic illness {ME/CFS or Long COVID}, Telehealth is what allows my community to access our doctors. {Provide any personal details about how telehealth has helped you access your doctors.}

​

I urge you to support these crucial bills to ensure Medicare continues covering telehealth services and that our community doesn't lose access to the care we depend on.

​

Thank you for your time and consideration."

About Telehealth Bills: 
 

The Telehealth Modernization Act (S.2709) and the CONNECT for Health Act (H.R. 4206 / S.1261) aim to make many of the current pandemic-era Telehealth flexibilities permanent, ensuring continued and future access for Medicare beneficiaries and expanding coverage for more providers.

​

The bill directly addresses the long-term expansion of Telehealth by:

​

• Removing geographic restrictions for Telehealth services.

• Expanding eligible originating sites.

• Widening the range of providers allowed to deliver telehealth.

• Eliminating the six-month in-person requirement for telemental health.

• Providing additional flexibilities for rural health clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and Native American health facilities.
