This document provides a 50-state analysis of telemedicine coverage and reimbursement policies in the United States. Key findings include:
- States vary widely in their telemedicine policies, with some improving coverage while others maintain restrictive policies.
- Only about half of states have laws requiring private insurance parity for telemedicine. Medicaid coverage also varies significantly between states.
- Areas that saw the most policy improvements since 2014 include private insurance parity laws and expansion of eligible service sites and technologies for Medicaid reimbursement.
- Gaps remain, with about half of states still receiving failing scores on indicators like coverage of telehealth under state employee health plans and Medicaid policies.
