CPCA Capitol Power Hour - Make Telephonic Visits Permanent

 

I am reaching out to let you know that we’re trying to get telephonic patient visits to become permanent in California.  Access to care is a very big deal in our rural areas.  California Primary Care Association is making this topic their key initiative to take to the state this year to try and keep telephone visits as an option for patients past COVID.  If you’re interested in helping, please take a few minutes to fill out their autogenerated email form (Links below) that will send the message to representatives in your district.

This will have a large impact on Behavioral Health.  Many folks are scared to come in for an appointment or don’t have access to transportation, which keeps them from addressing their mental health issues.  We’ve seen that telephone visits has helped with these issues.  This could greatly change the way that services are continued to be provided if we get support from the state.
