    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9841
    Reading Time:about 10 minutes

    In January 2025, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services published new rules about expanding telemedicine practices. These rules were supposed to take effect on February 18, 2025, but have been delayed to March 21, 2025. This delay aligns with a Presidential order for a "Regulatory Freeze Pending Review," allowing more time for feedback on the rules. The rules allow certain medical professionals to prescribe medications via telemedicine, even without an initial in-person visit, under specific conditions. Public comments about this delay are encouraged, focusing on potential policy, legal, and factual issues.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of medicine rules decided to allow doctors to give some medicine to patients over the computer, without meeting them first. They were going to start this in February, but they're waiting until March so everyone can think about it and share their thoughts.

  • 2021-01904 — Prosthetic and Rehabilitative Items and Services; Delayed Effective Date
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 7349
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has temporarily delayed the effective date of their rule on Prosthetic and Rehabilitative Items and Services originally set for January 27, 2021. The rule will now take effect on February 26, 2021, to allow VA officials additional time to review the regulations, following a directive from the Presidential memorandum issued on January 20, 2021, calling for a regulatory freeze pending review. This action, which includes no public comment period, is based on the good cause exception to provide time for the new administration to evaluate the policy implications of the rule without delaying the delivery of services unnecessarily.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Veterans Affairs decided to wait an extra month before starting new rules about helping people with prosthetic and rehab needs, so they can make sure everything is okay with the new rules. They did this because the President asked to pause some new rules to give the new team time to check them carefully.
