The Alliance for Connected Care led a letter signed by over 200 organizations in a letter to Terry Cole, Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), requesting his leadership in ensuring that millions of Americans continue to have access to medically necessary health care through telemedicine after the current access deadline of December 31, 2025.
We are only 23 weeks away from access to the telemedicine services the DEA oversees ending. Given this approaching deadline, and widely recognized challenges with previous policy proposals, we encourage action by the DEA to:
- Engage directly with experts and stakeholders on policymaking that would continue access to telehealth while preventing diversion; and
- Ensure a plan is in place by the Fall of 2025 to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to their medical treatments in December of 2025.
“Expanding access to comprehensive telehealth services with clinically appropriate prescribing was a major policy achievement of the first Trump Administration. We urge Administrator Cole to take swift action to prevent its expiration in December.” – Chris Adamec, Executive Director, Alliance for Connected Care
