Few Disciplinary Issues with Out-of-State Telehealth

Cicero Institute: Few Disciplinary Issues with Out-of-State Telehealth

This report reviews the states of Florida and Idaho’s out-of-state telehealth approach and found that there were no disciplinary actions with across-state-line telehealth. Additionally, there was a substantial and growing number of providers interested in providing out-of-state telehealth. Despite the attention telehealth has received during the pandemic, few states have implemented robust laws allowing out-of-state clinicians to provide care in their state. As policymakers review their current laws to best help their state be ready for another pandemic, or to improve access to affordable care, Florida and Idaho offer some lessons on across-state-line telehealth for them to consider.
