An updated version of the fifth edition of the Center for Connected Health Policy’s (CCHP) State Telehealth Laws and Reimbursement Policies Report was released.  CCHP’s report is the most comprehensive report on state telehealth laws, regulations and Medicaid policies available and contains the most current and up to date information for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.  The full report will be available on CCHP’s website, which also includes a state interactive map to more easily access this information.  CCHP also created easy to read two-page fact sheet and infographic summarizing the report’s key findings.
