HLAA urges Congress to continue flexible telehealth
HLAA’s Executive Director Barbara Kelley sent a letter to the U.S. Senate leaders urging them to pass legislation to continue flexible telehealth policies, enacted during the Covid emergency. Better access to these remote appointments helped make it easier for millions of people with hearing loss to see their doctors, and should be made permanent.
