The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will fund four states to expand telehealth and other healthcare services in their rural communities.
Four organizations are set to receive grants from CMS to address health disparities in rural areas. The lead organizations will implement the Community Health Access and Rural Transformation Model, which increases regulatory flexibility for rural providers and allows them to use value-based payment models to encourage quality and outcomes over the volume of care.
