Telemedicine (SB 857)

Telemedicine (SB 857)

As Pennsylvania continues to cope with the impact of COVID-19, the Senate today gave final approval to a bill that promotes telemedicine as a way to overcome barriers to quality patient care created by distance and reduce the costs of those services.

In the midst of this good news there is an important consideration. Telemedicine cannot be fully implemented in many parts of our commonwealth until the lack of broadband access is remedied.
