Please Complete: COVID-19 Physician Survey
KMA has created a survey for physicians regarding a number of aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on practices and patient care. The short, multiple choice survey can be completed anonymously if preferred and should take less than 5 minutes to finish. KMA will share the results of the survey with members.
If you have not already, please take a few minutes and complete the survey here.
COVID-19 Telehealth Program
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) COVID-19 Telehealth Program will provide immediate support to eligible health care providers by fully funding their telecommunications services, information services, and devices necessary to provide critical connected care services until the program’s funds have been expended or the COVID-19 pandemic has ended.
The COVID-19 Telehealth Program order, released by the FCC on April 2, is available here. An overview of the program and the application is available here.
