Resources & Reports

The Center for Connected Health Policy’s (CCHP) Fall 2025 Summary Report of the state telehealth laws and Medicaid program policies is now available as well as updated information on our online Policy Finder tool. The most current information in the online tool may be exported for each state into a PDF document. The following is a summary of the current status of telehealth policy in the states (and jurisdictions) given these new updates.

This edition reflects CCHP’s review of states conducted between late May and early September 2025. The executive summary also captures updates made in states since CCHP’s last annual State Telehealth Policy Summary in November 2024 (with review for individual states having concluded at various points before then). CCHP has produced this summary report since 2013. While it was previously released twice a year, it is now published annually each Fall, with three rounds of updates to each jurisdiction in the Policy Finder throughout the year.

CCHP is committed to providing timely policy information that is easy for users to navigate and understand through our Policy Finder. Additionally, CCHP’s Policy Finder now features the reintroduction of the policy category related specifically to federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). CCHP began tracking this important category in the Fall of 2022, but had to pause updates last year when the funding for this work expired. However, thanks to renewed support from the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), we’re once again able to offer this resource.

While this Executive Summary provides an overview of findings, it must be stressed that there are nuances in many of the telehealth policies. To fully understand a specific policy and all its intricacies, the full language of it must be read utilizing CCHP’s telehealth Policy Finder.

The Center for Connected Health Policy’s (CCHP) Fall 2024 Summary Report of the state telehealth laws and Medicaid program policies is now available as well as updated information on our online Policy Finder tool.  The most current information in the online tool may be exported for each state into a PDF document. The following is a summary of the current status of telehealth policy in the states (and jurisdictions) given these new updates.  Traditionally, CCHP has released bi-annual summary reports each Spring and Fall to offer a snapshot of progress over the previous six months. However, last year CCHP announced a  shift to an annual reporting schedule, with three rounds of updates to each jurisdiction in the Policy Finder throughout the year.  CCHP is committed to providing timely policy information that is easy for users to navigate and understand through our Policy Finder.  Additionally, sections of CCHP’s policy finder addressing COVID temporary policy as well as policy related specifically to federally qualified health centers (FQHC) (which had been included in CCHP’s online policy finder in previous years) have been phased out.   COVID telehealth policies that have been made permanent or extended for multiple years have been incorporated into the appropriate relevant sections of the policy finder.  Some FQHC policy addressing telehealth policies explicitly can also still be found in CCHP’s policy finder, often under the Medicaid section in the applicable general topic area.  The information for this summary report covers updates in state telehealth policy made between October 2023 and early September 2024, with states being last updated between late May and early September 2024.

As the COVID-19 pandemic moves towards its third year anniversary, some are seeing an eventual end to the public health emergency (PHE).  In the Fall 2022, the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) held two webinars in its popular state telehealth policy series that focused on what the telehealth policy landscape may look like in a post-PHE environment.  The Fall Series expanded the scope of subject matter as the sessions focused on federal issues, specifically what might be expected in a post PHE environment, and what providers needed to keep in mind when operating in multiple jurisdictions.
