Televisits took off during the pandemic, but states are now rolling back the temporary rules that facilitated them.
elevisits for medical care took off during the worst days of the pandemic, quickly becoming commonplace. Throughout, it’s probably seemed like it doesn’t matter what state the provider of these telehealth services is located. But that’s only because most states, along with the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, temporarily waived rules requiring licensed clinicians to hold a valid license in the state where their patient is located.
“Consumers don’t know about these regulations, but if you all of a sudden pull the rug out from these services, you will definitely see a consumer backlash,” says Dr. Harry Greenspun, chief medical officer for the consultancy Guidehouse.Finding a way forward pits high-powered stakeholders against one another, and consumers’ input is likely to be muted.
“As with most things in medicine, it’s a bottom-line issue,” says Greenspun. “The reason telehealth has been blocked across state lines for many years related fundamentally to physicians wanting to protect their own practices.”
