67 Million Medicare Beneficiaries Face Telehealth Benefit Cuts
Telehealth Benefits at Risk
Medicare beneficiaries, mostly elderly and disabled, rely heavily on telehealth services for their healthcare needs. Recent proposals to cut funding could lead to significant barriers in healthcare access.
Understanding the Impact
These cuts might result in:
- Loss of Access to essential healthcare services.
- Increased Stress for beneficiaries who need consistent care.
- Potential Financial Burden when seeking alternative options.
The Need for Extension
Advocacy is crucial as the end of the year approaches. Not extending these telehealth benefits could exacerbate health disparities among vulnerability groups.
