Discuss how current payment and reimbursement models hinder the ability of providers and organizations to address health disparities. Identify proposed payment and reimbursement changes, and describe how they work to address health disparities.
As pressure rises for the government to make pandemic-related telehealth flexibilities permanent, discuss what other policy considerations are needed in order for telehealth to be effective at mitigating access and quality gaps. Consider factors such as broadband and technology access, reimbursement models, and cultural competence.
