JAMA Network: Expansion of Telehealth Availability for Mental Health Care After State-Level Policy Changes From 2019 to 2022

State participation in either of two agreements allowing access to care across state lines were the next biggest drivers of expanded telehealth services at 40 and 21 percent.
