Before starting a telehealth practice, it is crucial to familiarize yourself with telehealth laws and regulations in your state. Laws vary across states, impacting patient location requirements and reimbursement policies. Federal legislation, such as Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), aims to align access and care quality with reimbursements. Medicaid also includes reimbursement for telehealth services in many states. Understanding the legal environment and staying up to date with regulations is essential for a successful telehealth practice.
