Telehealth Resource Center: Telehealth Legal and Regulatory Module

Description:

Presented By Telehealth Resource Centers

Telehealth raises a number of legal concerns, especially regarding cross-state practice and reimbursement. This module addresses many of the legal and regulatory issues affecting telehealth.

Unfortunately, the resolution of some of these legal issues has not kept pace with advancements in the telemedicine field.
