Backed by Amazon Care and Intermountain, a new coalition lobbies for policy changes around at-home care
The telehealth boom has made one thing clear: The era of health care provided exclusively within the confines of a clinic or hospital is over.
In the hopes of making the shift to virtual care more permanent, Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm Sirona Strategies formed a coalition earlier this month called Moving Health Home. The organization’s 10 members include virtual-first care company Amazon Care, hospital chains Ascension and Intermountain Health, and risk-based senior care group Landmark Health. Together, they plan to advocate for a suite of policy changes that would widen access to at-home care — and allow providers to be reimbursed more readily for those services.
