Long lagging in acceptance from providers, payers, and patients, telehealth has undergone a renaissance in 2020, enabling millions of people to receive healthcare in the safety of their homes when it was too dangerous to venture outside. Now that the genie is out of the bottle, the healthcare industry wants to know: What is the future of telehealth in a post-pandemic world?

In this episode of CANCER BUZZ, we discuss how healthcare providers and policymakers can work together to pave the future of telehealth beyond the current public health emergency. Now that the barriers to telehealth have tumbled on an unprecedented scale, it’s doubtful future healthcare delivery will maintain the status quo.

Guest: Frank Micciche, Vice President, Public Policy & External Relations, National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
