On April 2, 2020, the FCC issued a Report and Order establishing the COVID-19 Telehealth Program. The program will provide $200 million in funding, appropriated by Congress as part of the CARES Act, to help health care providers provide connected care services to patients at their homes or mobile locations. In this episode, Partner John Heitmann and Special Counsel Denise Smith discuss healthcare provider eligibility criteria, funding coverage, and key application considerations. They also provide an update on awards granted. At the time of the recording, the FCC had awarded a total 104.98 million dollars over nine funding rounds, to 305 health care providers.
