An ‘At a Glance’ look at trends in state telehealth laws, regulations and reimbursement policies across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. See the number of states reimbursing for different modalities. All information is based on the policies reviewed for each state between January and March 2023.
This chart provides a quick reference summary of each state’s telehealth policy on Medicaid reimbursement, private payer reimbursement laws (both if a law exists and whether or not payment parity is required), and professional requirements around interstate compacts and consent based on information gathered between January and March 2023.
The Spring 2023 Edition of CCHP’s Telehealth summary report and Policy Finder tool now include a category for each state that specifically focuses on federally qualified health centers’ (FQHCs) telehealth Medicaid fee-for-service policy. As is the case for Medicaid telehealth policy in general, the manner in which state Medicaid programs address telehealth reimbursement for FQHCs, and therefore enable them to incorporate telehealth into their clinics, varies widely by state.
As we move towards the end of the federal public health emergency (PHE), some but not all temporary pandemic waivers have been scheduled to be extended beyond May 11, 2023. As a result, CCHP has created a new Post-PHE Policy Factsheet addressing some lingering Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). This fact sheet looks at various policies impacting different provider types, including practitioners, clinics (FQHCs/RHCs) and hospitals.
This CCHP created chart created in March 2023 reflects what the status will be for a temporary telehealth-related policy in a post-public health emergency (PHE) landscape. This resource provides an at-a-glance overview of the federal telehealth waivers that were made in response to COVID-19 and is meant to be a summary.
