Industry Voices—Silver Linings May Emerge From COVID-19 if State, Federal Policies can be Meaningfully Adapted

– FierceHealthcare

Manatt Health managing director Jonah Frohlich and director Megan Ingraham authored an article for FierceHealthcare about how ambulatory care providers in California responded to the COVID-19 pandemic through the widespread adoption of telemedicine solutions, and how policies and regulatory changes might be changed to help restore and improve access and services for both current and future ambulatory care patients in the state.
