For leaders making digital integral to how care is accessed, delivered, and scaled.

Dear ATA Community,

As we prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, I want to wish you a safe, joyful, and restorative holiday. It’s a moment to appreciate the values that unite us—and to recognize the incredible strides we’re making together to transform care delivery through innovation, collaboration, and a shared commitment to patient-centered care.

This spirit of progress and partnership is at the heart of our upcoming CODE Virtual Roundtable on July 29, where we’ll hear from health systems that are leading the way in building and scaling clinical command centers. These models are enhancing care coordination, operational efficiency, and outcomes—and this interactive session will offer practical strategies you can apply within your organization.

Looking ahead to the fall, I’m also excited for the ATA Insights Summit, where we return to our roots: healthcare delivery organizations. This year’s summit is structured around eight hands-on strategy labs, each led by frontline executives, clinicians, and system builders. Over two days, we’ll work side-by-side to co-develop frameworks, benchmarks, and tools you can bring home and put to use.

Enjoy the holiday—and thank you for being an essential part of this dynamic and forward-thinking community.

ATA Insights Summit

Peer-Driven Strategy Labs for Redesigning Care Delivery

November 16-18, 2025 | Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort | Orlando, FL

The ATA Insights Summit brings together senior leaders from health systems and industry to co-create scalable, digital care delivery models. Through eight hands-on strategy labs, participants will tackle real-world challenges in AI, RPM, oncology, pediatrics, aging in place, and more.

Expect three days of peer-led collaboration, case studies, and networking. Attendance is limited, highly curated, and includes exclusive access to post-event deliverables.

Senate Passes Reconciliation Text, Including Permanent Telehealth Coverage!

Today, the Senate passed draft language for the reconciliation bill including reinstating and making permanent telehealth first-dollar coverage for High-Deductible Health Plan-Health Savings Accounts (HDHP-HSAs). Following this important Senate vote, the text will go to the U.S. House for their approval. We anticipate the bill to land on President Trump’s desk for signature, likely around the July 4th holiday. It’s important to note that President Trump and GOP House leadership are eager for rapid passage, but roadblocks and some resistance remains with the GOP House caucus.
 
Reinstating this critical provision and ensuring permanent, pre-deductible coverage for telehealth under HDHP-HSAs, has been one of ATA Action’s top priorities. Its passage would represent a decisive statement by Congress and the administration, underscoring the urgent need to ensure full access to telehealth for millions of Americans, particularly in light of other challenging healthcare policies being proposed in the reconciliation package that could negatively impact healthcare institutions and the delivery of care.
 

We continue to strongly advocate for reinstating this safe harbor, originally enacted during the pandemic in 2020 as a temporary provision. Though extended multiple times, the flexibility expired on December 31, 2024.
