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 late May and early September 2023.
The Fall 2023 Edition of CCHP’s Telehealth summary report and Policy Finder tool now includes 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.
In February, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released several fact sheets regarding what would happen to temporary telehealth COVID-19 policies after the public health emergency (PHE) ended on May 11, 2023. Since the release of those original fact sheets, CMS has been updating the information. This chart shows the status of this information as of July 25, 2023. This is only a brief summary and CCHP suggests you look for more detailed information on the CMS fact sheets page, particularly for each individual provider type.
This factsheet reviews the Proposed Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) for CY 2024 as it pertains to telehealth.
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.
