Not much has changed in Medicare #telehealth policy since the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) ended a little more than a year ago. We are still operating under temporary waivers and flexibilities and, as a result, many pandemic-era virtual care policies are facing a cliff on December 31, 2024. Read on as we explore the virtual care policy landscape one year after the end of the PHE, and describe the actions Congress and federal agencies must take for such pandemic-era policies to continue.

In 2019, several health care regulators in BC came together to form a multi-college public engagement initiative – the BC Public Advisory Network (BC-PAN). Creating a joint mechanism to place the public at the center of health care reflects regulatory colleges’ mandate to serve and protect the public. The BC-PAN is a way that regulatory colleges can demonstrate accountability, promote transparency, and gather meaningful public feedback to help guide their work.
