Resources & Reports

While Medicare telehealth reimbursement policies remain top-of-mind given the expiration of statutory expansions as of October 1, 2025 (see CCHP’s most recent newsletters for more information), questions regarding licensure policies applicable to the use of telehealth across state lines continue to be forefront for many stakeholders. Although policies around licensure are typically regulated by the state (which CCHP tracks in its Policy Finder), a recent report by Johns Hopkins University, titled Summary of Cross-State Telehealth Advocacy Framework, and featured in an accompanying Hopkins news article, instead urges a national approach to licensure in order to address the large variance in allowances at the state level.

The Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP)is pleased to announce the release of its 2025 State Telehealth Policy Summary. Alongside the report, CCHP has also published a companionchart that outlines how states compare across a range of telehealth policies, as well as aninfographic capturing the major findings. For those seeking state-specific details, the most up-to-date information can always be accessed and exported as a PDF directly from CCHP’s online Policy Finder tool. This edition reflects CCHP’s review of states conducted between late May and early September 2025.In some cases, states may have enacted significant legislation or implemented new policies after their respective review date; in which case, those changes will be reflected in future Policy Finder updates.
