As a reminder, please contact your reps to get telemed permanently covered (current exp 9/30!!). It's a critical way to access care for homebound, far from specialists, or unable to arrange caregiving/time off to get the healthcare they need! #medsky #endosky www.ama-assn.org/practice-man...
House bill would make telehealth changes permanent
For patients in rural South Dakota, telehealth saves two-plus hours of travel on average. Companion Senate measure already has 63 co-sponsors.

House passes tax bill that would ban Medicaid from covering transition-related care
The bill would also prohibit marketplace plans available under the Affordable Care Act from covering transgender care as an essential health benefit.
