Annotation: This tip sheet outline seven key non-reimbursement policy considerations for organizations implementing telehealth programs. The areas covered include: licensing requirements and state compacts for healthcare providers; licensing board guidelines; credentialing and privileging procedures, including CMS's (The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) proxy credentialing option; etc. For each topic, the document provides detailed guidance on regulatory compliance, emphasizing that policies vary by state and that organizations must navigate both federal and state requirements. Particular attention is given to the complexities of cross-state practice, controlled substance prescribing under the Ryan Haight Act, and the varying roles FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Clinics) and RHCs (Rural Health Clinics) can play in telehealth delivery depending on Medicare and state Medicaid policies.
