Interest in and acceptance of telehealth services continues to grow. Recent events, like the COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, have put more pressure than ever on federal and state legislators to promote access to telehealth services.

However, the greater use of telehealth services also increases the potential for fraudulent behavior and enforcement activity. Providers should continue to monitor developments in federal and state laws, regulations, and policies to capitalize on telehealth opportunities while staying compliant with applicable laws.

Since 2016, Epstein Becker Green has researched, compiled, and analyzed state-specific content relating to the regulatory requirements for professional mental/behavioral health practitioners and stakeholders seeking to provide telehealth-focused services. We are pleased to release our latest compilation of state telehealth laws, regulations, and policies within the mental/behavioral health practice disciplines.

The survey’s complete findings are available to download for free as an app for iPhoneiPad, and Android devices. Download the app now and instantly have access to information about:

  • The continued recognition of telehealth benefits
  • The continued focus on telehealth fraud and enforcement
  • General telemental/telebehavioral provisions across the 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico
  • COVID-19’s impact on telehealth at the state and federal levels
