#DidYouKnow: HHS provides information on improving access to telehealth at Telehealth.HHS.gov

Federal disability discrimination laws like the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities and call for equal access to health care services, whether in-person or via a telemedicine appointment. Equal access to telehealth can be achieved by modifying procedures and providing additional support to patients with disabilities before, during, and after a virtual visit.
