The measures are intended to increase access to various services and telehealth flexibility.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a number of new proposed policies to improve Medicare and Medicaid Services this month. If approved, these new rules would support access to a primary care team, expand behavioral health services, offer additional vaccinations, and improve telehealth flexibility.
“This proposed rule strengthens the care people with Medicare receive, advancing HHS’s goal of a health care system that not only treats those who are sick but also keeps people well,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “It also increases access to behavioral and dental care, expands access to cancer screenings, and supports caregivers.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For discernment for Secretary Becerra as he guides the improvement of the department.
- For department officials as they consider the merits of these proposed regulations.
- That members of President Biden’s administration would seek God’s guidance as they craft policies.
