(The Center Square) – Trying to make it permanent, a North Carolina congressman and three others in Congress have filed legislation to extend telehealth services for federally qualified health centers and rural health clinics.

U.S. Rep. Dr. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., is a practicing urologist, where home is rural eastern North Carolina. He was joined in the reintroduction by Reps. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, Derrick Van Orden, R-Wisc., and Troy Nehls, R-Texas.
