As of today, the government is at an elevated risk of a shutdown. The agreement reached last week, which included the remaining appropriations bills and health extenders, including telehealth provisions, is now unlikely to pass the Senate this week. If an alternative agreement is not reached, government funding and telehealth flexibilities end on January 30. The Alliance recommends that home health agencies and hospices prepare for the telehealth flexibilities to end on January 30, as we recommended last September.
