Federal & State Policy Updates + CCHP Resources |

Federal Policy and Reimbursement updates
Public Health Emergency (PHE) Updates
On March 15 th, President Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. This bill will extend federal telehealth flexibilities for 151 days post-public health emergency (PHE), including PHE location, provider, and audio-only expansions, and includes new report requirements. See the Center for Connected Health Policy ( CCHP)'s recent newsletter here , and their helpful walk-through Chart here for a complete breakdown of what was included in the recent bill.
As mentioned in previous editions of Northeast Connections, on January 14, 2022 the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness & Response (ASPR) signed an extension of the COVID 19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) Declaration, see here, which ensured the continuance of the telehealth flexibilities for another 90 days from 1/16/22; The current PHE is scheduled to expire 3/16/22, and will likely be extended again for 90 days, as HHS has promised to give at least a 60-day notice when the PHE will expire for good.
CMS Updates
In Mid-January, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) sent out an article to providers regarding telehealth billing changes in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), including two new modifiers and a telehealth Services List update. The letter clarifies the timing for these requirements including when the 6-month prior in-person visit will need to be met. Limited exceptions to the in-person requirements are described, including travel hardships or provider unavailability. The update also includes 2 new modifiers for telehealth mental health services:
- FQ - A telehealth service was furnished using real-time audio-only communication technology
- FR - A supervising practitioner was present through a real-time two-way, audio/video communication technology
You can find the full article here.
Federal Policy Updates
As we all experienced throughout 2021, 2022 will be a year frequent discussions and changes at policy level of telehealth implementation, and the recent Appropriations bill referenced above indicates many of the waivers and flexibilities added throughout the PHE are still in need of permanent resolution; our colleagues at the Center for Connected Health Policy ( CCHP) continue to release in-depth newsletters covering this at all levels (State statute and regulatory avenues, Federal statute and reimbursement avenues, etc.), click here or here to read the most recent news.
Recent State Policy Updates

Multiple bills have been proposed regarding Telehealth Coverage via Private Insurers, A02674, A06741, A06256, S02990, S05505 and A06644 all tackle different components of this conversation and have all been sent to the Assembly Insurance Committee for review and discussion as of 1/5/22. However, A02674 was voted "enacted clause stricken" in February, effectively ending the bill's process without further legislative sponsorship or support.
There appears to be over 10 other bill proposals pertaining to telehealth, which can be found here; the NETRC team will continue to monitor these and provide a more in-depth update in future newsletters and materials.
Vermont-
Per directives issues in Act 21 (2021 Session), the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation convened the Interstate Telehealth Working Group (ITWG) throughout the summer and fall of 2021, leading to a report on the findings for the Vermont State Legislature, directed to the House Committee on Health Care, the House Committee on Government Operations, the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare, and the Senate Committee on Government Operations. The report and ITWG recommendations are available here, and The VT State Legislature will consider these recommendations as a part of H.655 “An Act Relating to Establishing a Telehealth Licensure and Registration System”.
H.655 Update- The bill was Passed by the House after third reading on 03/16/2022, and introduced to the Senate on 03/18/2022, where it was referred to the Committee on Health and Welfare for discussion.

Massachusetts-
H1101 "An Act Relative to Telehealth and Digital Equity for Patients" - Originally introduced in 2021, this bill requested an informative report be developed and prepared for the state legislature. On 02/03/22, the reporting date for the requested materials was extended to 4/30/22 by the house, and the Senate voted in concurrence on 03/24/2022.
Rhode Island does not appear to have any pending/current legislation being discussed relating to telehealth services as of 03/31/22.
Please note that many states continue to keep their temporary telehealth COVID-19 emergency policies siloed from their permanent telehealth policies, while others have made permanent changes and updates; CCHP has clearly explained which documents include both of these scenarios, and which focus on permanent changes.

FCC/ USAC Emergency Broadband Benefit Program & Affordable Connectivity Program- Program Updates
In late 2021, Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a new long-term, $14 billion program, to replace the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBB). This investment in broadband affordability will help ensure we can afford the connections we need for work, school, health care and more for a long time. In Late February, the White House and FCC announced that over 10 million households are now enrolled in the Affordable Connectivity Program. As a direct result of the collaborative outreach efforts we all have undertaken, we've helped over 10M households gain access to discounted broadband services through the nation’s largest ever broadband affordability program. New material designed to continue to aide partners in outreach to potential consumers is being continuously developed, visit the FCC Outreach Toolkit to access them all, here.
In Early March, Rural LISC developed a new mapping tool that maps the utilization of the original EBB program, click here to see the results. "The tool is designed to aid Digital Navigators and other partner organizations in identifying the communities that can benefit most from outreach and awareness efforts on broadband access."

NCTRC Webinar Webinar Series: Innovation & Integration of Telehealth into Population Health
April 21, 2022- 2pm EST
Hosted by: Northeast Telehealth Resource Center
Presented by: Michael Hasselberg, PhD, RN, PMHNP-BC, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Clinical Nursing, and Data Science at the University of Rochester
Over the last decade, technology innovation has upended every industry in ways that acknowledge and significantly alter consumer behavior. eCommerce is a prime example of a consumer-centered paradigm that shifts the locus from brick-and-mortar to a digital first marketplace. Consumers now expect convenience, value, and a great experience when shopping for any product. Those same expectations are driving the patient-centered health system of the future. To overcome healthcare’s historical challenges to meeting the growing population and patient expectations, we will be required to harness the power of technology to capture and analyze new data on our patients, autonomously make decisions to intervene, and interact with our patients in ways that we have not been able to before. This presentation will discuss how health organizations from across the county are learning from the retail industry and are taking big strides forward in building a smart health system.

Empirical Support for Increased Demand for Telehealth, Telemental Health, Telebehavioral Health & Teletherapy
Telehealth.org March 26, 2022 Link
Reports consistently show that many people want to continue the option of having telehealth visits even after the pandemic. This article summarizes two studies that describe the importance and acceptance of what is variably referred to as telemental health, teletherapy, and telebehavioral health care delivery models. While telemental health and teletherapy are often used interchangeably, telebehavioral health stands on its own as a term used to refer to the telehealth delivery of either mental health or substance use services.
Remote Blood Oxygen Monitoring Helped Detect COVID-19 Deterioration
mHEALTHINTELLIGENCE March 25, 2022 Link
During the COVID-19 pandemic, at-home blood oxygen monitoring assisted in identifying clinical deterioration among patients infected with the disease, a new study shows.
HIPAA Compliant Email for Therapists
Telehealth.org March 25, 2022 Link
Email provides a convenient way to communicate. However, there are security implications to consider. Email security is of particular concern when using it to communicate with patients. As a healthcare provider, HIPAA regulates what is appropriate for patient communications, including the tools used for communication. HIPAA compliant email for therapists takes patient confidentiality and the use of a HIPAA compliant encryption service provider into consideration.
More Telehealth Data Urged Before Making Eased Rules Permanent
Bloomberg Law March 25, 2022 Link
Congress should get a clearer picture of how patients use telehealth before making pandemic-inspired relaxed rules permanent, Medicare advisers say. Lawmakers recently extended telehealth changes until five months after the end of the public health emergency is declared. This extension in the omnibus spending package eases telehealth advocates’ concerns about a “telehealth cliff,” or the abrupt cut off of coverage of most virtual care.
Remote Patient Monitoring & How RPM Can Be Integrated into Virtual Healthcare
Telehealth.org March 25, 2022 Link
Multiple CPT codes for reimbursement from payors have made the viability of using remote patient monitoring devices a reality for many healthcare services. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) determines and keeps track of health-related daily tasks and metrics such as sleep cycles, blood pressure, temperature, insulin levels, heart rate, etc.
AMA: 69% of Physicians Use Audio-Only Telehealth
