Telehealth
The FCC COVID-19 Telehealth Program has $200 million in funding to help health care providers provide connected care services to patients at their homes or mobile locations. The Program will provide immediate support to eligible health care providers responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by fully funding their telecommunications services, information services, and devices necessary to provide critical connected care services until the program’s funds have been expended or the COVID-19 pandemic has ended. More information and instructions on how to file an application for funding are available here: https://www.fcc.gov/covid-19-telehealth-program
