Telehealth Access Expansion: Nationwide Remote Healthcare Services

This act aims to simplify access to remote medical services by allowing healthcare professionals to practice across state lines with a single license. This means citizens can more easily receive online consultations and treatment, regardless of where their doctor is licensed. It provides greater flexibility in healthcare, but requires doctors to notify authorities when practicing in other jurisdictions.
Key points
Healthcare professionals can provide telehealth services in any U.S. state with a license from just one state.
Patients can use telehealth without a prior relationship with the provider, after identity verification and consent.
Providers must notify local authorities within 30 days when offering services in a different state.
HIPAA privacy rules will be updated to facilitate telehealth use after the public health emergency ends.
