As the dust from the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) continues to settle and the PHE-era flexibilities expire, telehealth providers are bracing themselves for the changes soon to come.
These providers will inevitably face certain legal and regulatory complexities as federal and state lawmakers and regulators consider adopting further temporary or permanent policy changes impacting telehealth. Federal-level changes—particularly the Drug Enforcement Administration’s remote-prescribing rulemaking—may further compound these complexities and trigger a wave of changes in laws, regulations, and policies at the state and board levels. Telehealth providers should continue to monitor these developments, capitalize on current and upcoming telehealth opportunities, and make investments in compliance infrastructures to operate in accordance with applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and policies.

Through the app, providers and stakeholders can get an overview and detailed breakdown of legal trends impacting telehealth and telemental health services.
