Telehealth4us is a web-based coalition to show widespread support for expanding telehealth coverage for all Americans.

After 50 years of demonstrations and research and over 10,000 studies published on the impact of telehealth (also called telemedicine), there is widespread agreement on its many proven benefits, notably its ability to save lives and money while increasing access to care. Patients like it, it improves care and it expands access. Moreover, it can reduce costs. In short, telemedicine can have a widespread and transforming impact on the cost, quality, delivery, and outcomes for health care in America.

Yet, there is limited coverage of telehealth services by public and private health plans. This barrier restricts its benefits for consumers and payers alike. For example, Medicare essentially limits telehealth services to beneficiaries living in rural counties – leaving out 79% of the population.

Fixing this problem is simple: expand American’s access to telehealth services by increasing coverage by the major insurance payers. Please sign our petition to urge health leaders to make maximum advantage of telehealth for improving Americans' health.
