This webinar will discuss recently filed court cases that challenge the constitutionality of state licensure requirements on the use of telehealth. Speakers will examine what the plaintiffs in the case are arguing, the potential impacts of the cases if they are decided in or not in the plaintiff’s favor and what could happen in the future regarding licensure.
In June 2024, the Supreme Court decided in favor of the plaintiffs in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo overturning what was known as the “Chevron Doctrine” named for the 1984 Supreme Court Case Chevron USA, Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. In the Chevron Doctrine if a court concluded a statute was silent or ambiguous, the court would defer to an agency’s interpretation of the statute. Loper Bright puts that authority back in the courts to resolve that ambiguity. How this decision could impact telehealth policy will be discussed among our expert panelists.
As we start to wind down from the pandemic, what will the federal telehealth policy landscape look like going forward, and what should those interested in telehealth be aware of as far as policies impacting its use? Join us as we examine the various issues that policymakers will face as we move towards more permanent policy for telehealth on the federal level.
While telehealth may eliminate issues such as distance barriers, providers still face a number of policies that they will have to navigate as they provide services across state lines. In the first webinar for CCHP’s Fall 2022 State Policy Webinar Series, our panel of expert speakers will discuss various issues that providers should be aware of when they provide services in another state.
In addition to COVID-19, the United States faced another public health crisis, the opioid epidemic. During COVID-19, some substance use disorder (SUD) patients found themselves cut off from care. Telehealth was used to help alleviate some of these access issues. In this webinar, we’ll hear about various approaches to the use of telehealth to treat SUD from federal, state and local perspectives.
