Access to Behavioral Health
In a letter to Congresswoman Cindy Axne, the AHA expresses support of the Knowing the Efficiency and Efficacy of Permanent (KEEP) Telehealth Options Act of 2020.
This section highlights the latest of these efforts and key topics impacted by them, including full implementation of the parity law, modification/elimination of 42CFR-Part 2, expanding funding for opiate use disorder treatment, appropriate quality measures, and more.
A list that represents what actions would be necessary to maintain or extend telehealth flexibilities that were
implemented during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
On June 17 at 1 p.m. ET, the AHA and Avia Health Innovation will host a webinar during which experts will share how hospitals and health systems successfully have deployed digital solutions to provide access to behavioral health care treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The AHA asked the Department of Health and Human Services to distribute substantial additional emergency funds to hospitals and health systems in an expedited manner and using a phased approach.
