Telehealth Updates
The Legislative Committee is staying apprised of the current Telehealth updates throughout the state. APTA SC has signed on in support of efforts by the South Carolina Telehealth Legislation Alliance and Palmetto Care Connections in their work to call for legislation that would require health insurance payers to continue covering health care delivered virtually in South Carolina. These efforts are ongoing.
