AI Summary — Last 30 Days
Telehealth is moving from pandemic-era access flexibility toward accountable, contractible digital care infrastructure: ATA is pressing Congress to make Medicare telehealth flexibilities permanent, while CMS billing updates for RHCs and distant-site services signal continued operational tightening under the Trump administration. At the same time, VBC stakeholders are building quality and payment scaffolding around virtual-first care—NCQA’s new Digital Health Engagement Accreditation and DiMe’s payer/provider contracting initiative aim to standardize outcomes, engagement, and implementation expectations. The strategic opportunity is shifting from “more virtual visits” to condition-specific, risk-bearing models such as Oshi Health’s multidisciplinary GI model, where digital access, behavioral health, nutrition, and specialty care can be packaged around avoidable utilization and total-cost-of-care performance.
