Here’s one positive side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic: telehealth is here to stay.
When COVID-19 hit the United States nearly a year ago, the American health care system had to scramble to safely provide care to their patients.
As a result, nearly half of Kansans have used telehealth in the last year, according to a new survey from the REACH Health Foundation and United Methodist Health Ministry Fund.

Topeka The consensus among health professionals is that telehealth services have opened new avenues toward better patient outcomes across Kansas, but many providers fear the loss of current reimbursement rates could force them to cease these services.
