Telehealth Bill Passes in House

May 5, 2021

The Connecticut House of Representatives was in session on Tuesday. My colleagues and I debated, discussed and passed several pieces of legislation throughout the night.  I wanted highlight a couple that will benefit the community. 
 

H.B. 5596, An Act Concerning Telehealth
Throughout the ongoing pandemic, we've seen not only the benefits but the critical need for telehealth services for both patients and providers.  HB 5596 will extend the safe, comprehensive access to healthcare that has offered vulnerable patients piece of mind and providers the ability to effectively assist patients while combating the pandemic.
