Last week, another law was enacted to provide financial relief to small businesses and health care providers. Yet another bill is in the works, to be taken up after Congress returns to town (now expected on May 4). Health and disability advocates are hoping to secure additional funding for providers, states, and various programs (e.g., Family-to-Family Health Information Centers) that have experienced additional costs related to the coronavirus pandemic. In other news, the administration has issued a new toolkit for states to facilitate telehealth, especially for children. Read about these topics and more in this week’s Update.
