URGENT: Extend Telehealth Law Before Sept 30 Deadline

Text SIGN PIJNVK to 50409 — Medicare telehealth flexibilities expire in four days on September 30, 2025. Without immediate Congressional action, millions of patients will lose essential healthcare access. I urge you to vote for an extension before this critical deadline. The numbers tell a stark story. In late 2023, over 12.6% of Medicare beneficiaries used tele-health services (American Hospital Association, 2025). That represents millions of Americans who will suddenly face barriers to care. Rural patients will be hit hardest. They'll lose home-based telehealth access and must travel to approved facilities for coverage. My own doctor warned patients about this cliff. Scheduled tele-health appointments after September 30 must become in-person visits, or patients pay out-of-pocket. This forces impossible choices between financial hardship and needed medical care. Mental health services face particular disruption. Patients will need in-person visits every six months to maintain telehealth eligibility. Audio-only services disappear entirely. For elderly patients or those with mobility issues, this creates dangerous access barriers. The healthcare industry speaks with one voice on this issue. Over 350 organizations, including the American Telemedicine Association, have urged Congress to act (Foley & Lardner, September 2025). This includes hospitals, medical associations, and patient advocacy groups across the political spectrum. Congress has extended these flexibilities multiple times with bipartisan support. The September 30 deadline approaches because lawmakers haven't reached a funding agreement. However, patient care cannot wait for budget negotiations. Telehealth saves money while improving access. Studies show that most tele-health visits don’t require follow-up in-person care within 90 days, reducing healthcare costs and hospital overcrowding. I ask you to support the immediate extension of Medicare tele-health flexibilities. Vote for any continuing resolution or spending bill that includes these provisions. Patients cannot afford delays or political gridlock.
