Summary

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks to propose a Pilot program within the Universal Service Fund (USF or Fund) to support connected care for low-income Americans and veterans. The Commission specifically seeks to better understand how the Fund can play a role in helping patients stay directly connected to health care providers through telehealth services and improve health outcomes among medically underserved populations that are missing out on vital technologies.
