Telehealth for LGBTQ+ Patients, Telehealth Licensing, Broadband Internet Resources, and more OAT Announcements!
HRSA sent this bulletin at 06/14/2022 10:01 AM EDT
This June, focus on how your practice can better reach and serve the LGBTQ+ community. Telehealth can be an important tool in that mission. HRSA is here to help providers successfully serve the LGBTQ+ community through telehealth with expert insights and best practices.
Providing telehealth across state lines? Find the latest on licensing requirements and interstate compacts on Telehealth.HHS.gov. You can also visit ProviderBridge, a tool featuring a comprehensive directory of resources to help health care providers navigate current state licensure requirements.
A lack of reliable internet access is a major barrier to telehealth adoption. The Affordable Connectivity Program and Lifeline Program are Federal Communications Commission (FCC) benefit programs that provide discounts toward broadband service and internet connected devices for qualified people.
