New bill would ease telehealth restrictions for VA providers - Healthcare Dive
A new bill proposes easing telehealth restrictions specifically for VA providers, potentially allowing them to deliver care across state lines more easily. This change does not directly affect non-VA telehealth businesses but signals a trend toward deregulation.
