Foley & Lardner LLP: 2024 50-State Telehealth Survey
- Foley & Lardner LLP released the third edition of its 50-State Survey of Telehealth Insurance Laws, which provides a detailed report on each state’s telehealth commercial insurance coverage and payment/reimbursement laws and compares these laws before and after the Public Health Emergency (PHE). Notable changes from pre-PHE to post-PHE include:
- Additional restrictions on exclusive telehealth platform arrangements allow clinics and hospitals to make individual decisions that best suit their patients;
- Audio-only, or phone call, coverage becomes a permanent fixture, helping people in rural areas to receive care;
- Payment parity (reimbursing at the same rate for telehealth as in-person visits), shows gradual progress but fell short of expectations; and
Mental and behavioral health benefit from expanded telehealth coverage and payment parity, helping to address the imbalance in supply and demand.
