Abstract
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) establishes rules and processes to further distribute funding through the COVID-19 Telehealth Program to health care providers, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to build on Round 1 of the Program, and implement Congress's direction under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) for additional relief. The CAA funding is distributed through the Program to the health care providers who need it most, as determined by objective metrics.
