Secure up to $1million from the FCC to fund your telehealth infrastructure
The Universal Service Administration Company (USAC), under the FCC’s oversight, announced they will administer a Round 2 of funding for the COVID-19 Telehealth Program, which promotes the use of telehealth for nonprofit and public eligible HCPs ranging from areas hard-hit by COVID-19, low-income, tribal communities, community hospitals, and more. As cost continues to be a barrier for organizations like these to implement telehealth, this next round of funding is a much-needed way to improve healthcare outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
Social distancing as a precaution due to COVID-19 has catalyzed the growth of telehealth. As per McKinsey’s COVID-19 Consumer Survey, consumer adoption [of telehealth] has skyrocketed, from 11 percent of U.S. consumers using telehealth in 2019 to 46 percent of consumers now using telehealth to replace canceled healthcare visits. There were many advocates of telehealth and the efficacy it can bring about in the healthcare sector in the pre-COVID era. However, the lack of providers and access to the internet and technology were hampering its progress. Fortunately, companies like Let’s Talk Interactive (LTI) rose to the challenge of telehealth’s rapid adoption by developing the technology base and network of medical experts for more than two decades.

By May of 2020, that number had grown to 94%. That's a sharp increase of 81% in just two months. If you do not currently offer a telehealth program, it’s safe to say you are behind the times.
