Mari Savickis with CHIME
Mari Savickis, VP of Public Policy for CHIME, joins Panda Perspectives live from the VIVE show floor to break down how shifting federal priorities and political uncertainty are impacting digital health progress. As a longtime healthcare policy expert, Mari offers a behind-the-scenes look at how providers are reacting to rapid changes in Washington, highlighting how ambiguity around issues like HIPAA, Medicaid reimbursement, and telehealth funding is creating a ripple effect of hesitation across the industry. With major decisions like the March 14th funding deadline and the March 31st telehealth extension still up in the air, Mari emphasizes how uncertainty—even more than unfavorable policy—can stall provider investment in new technologies.
