Dear Senators Schatz, Wicker, Cardin, Thune, Warner, and Hyde-Smith,

On behalf of the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), I commend you for introducing the Creating Opportunities Now for Necessary and Effective Care Technologies (CONNECT) for Health Act of 2019. MGMA strongly supports this important legislation that expands coverage for telehealth services by lifting several restrictive coverage requirements for these services that improve patient care.
