Resources & Reports

CCHP’s 2023 roundup of state approved legislation, which includes a detailed listing of all bills by topic area and state, is now available.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released their final Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) for CY 2024. The PFS are the policies that the agency will be implementing for Medicare beginning on January 1, 2024, unless otherwise noted. This is the typical vehicle utilized by CMS to make administrative changes to telehealth policy in the Medicare program.  This fact sheet reviews the telehealth related items that CMS has decided to finalize for CY 2024.

An ‘At a Glance’ look at trends in state telehealth laws, regulations and reimbursement policies across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands. See the number of states reimbursing for different modalities.  All information is based on the policies reviewed for each state between late May and early September 2023.

This chart provides a quick reference summary of each state’s telehealth policy on Medicaid reimbursement, private payer reimbursement laws (both if a law exists and whether or not payment parity is required), and professional requirements around interstate compacts and consent based on information gathered between late May and early September 2023.

The Fall 2023 Edition of CCHP’s Telehealth summary report and Policy Finder tool now includes a category for each state that specifically focuses on federally qualified health centers’ (FQHCs) telehealth Medicaid fee-for-service policy.  As is the case for Medicaid telehealth policy in general, the manner in which state Medicaid programs address telehealth reimbursement for FQHCs, and therefore enable them to incorporate telehealth into their clinics, varies widely by state.
