Thank you to Tina Smith (D-MN) for reintroducing the Expanded Telehealth Access Act, which would expand the scope of practitioners eligible for payment for telehealth services under Medicare. The Alliance is proud to endorse this bill. daines.senate.gov/2026/02/11/was…

The Alliance signed onto a letter, led by AACN, supporting the addition of post-bacc nursing degrees to the list of “professional” degrees. This recognition is crucial for the delivery of care in rural areas and those with practitioner shortages. thenursingcommunity.org/_files/ugd/148…

MedPAC's March 2026 Report notes that 35% of Medicare beneficiaries used telehealth in the past year and over 90% reported satisfaction. As Congress considers next steps, the data makes a strong case for long-term coverage certainty.

Michigan could leave the IMLC in less than 2 weeks unless the legislature acts. Participation in IMLC should be the minimum standard for states expanding access via telehealth. After renewing its participation, Michigan should adopt UTA model legislation. connectwithcare.org/alliance-for-c…

The Alliance submitted a statement to House E&C health subcommittee hearing today urging Congress to protect telehealth access for patients with SUD and finalize a patient-centered DEA Special Registration framework. Read it here: connectwithcare.org/alliance-submi…

Excited to share that Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed the legislation into law today.
