# Podcast: A Closer Look at the FCC’s COVID-19 Telehealth Program

 June 17, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the most recent episode of Kelley Drye’s [Full Spectrum podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kelley-drye-full-spectrum/id1087064927), Partner John Heitmann and Special Counsel Denise Smith discuss the [COVID-19 Telehealth Program](https://www.commlawmonitor.com/2020/06/articles/covid-19/covid-19-what-communications-service-providers-need-to-know-june-15-2020/). The episode covers healthcare provider eligibility criteria, funding coverage, and key application considerations. They also provide an update on awards granted. At the time of the recording, the FCC had awarded a total $104.98 million over nine funding rounds, to 305 health care providers, representing about half of the money allocated for the Telehealth Program. This podcast follows our April 28th webinar on the Telehealth Program, a recording of which is available [here](https://www.kelleydrye.com/News-Events/Events/Seminars/COVID-19-and-Beyond-How-to-Connect-to-New-FCC-Tele).
