Fall 2023 Telehealth Policy Summary Report: Insights and State-Level Trends from CCHP

Today the Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP) is releasing its Summary of state telehealth policy changes for Fall 2023.  Additionally, we are also making available a summary chart showing where states stand on many key telehealth policies, as well as an infographic and FQHC factsheet highlighting our key findings.  The most current information in CCHP’s online policy finder tool may be exported for each state into a PDF document.  Note that the review period for this report was late May through early September 2023.

Telehealth Policies & Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) Fact Sheet, Fall 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.
