Illinois Licensure
Healthcare professionals providing telehealth to patients located in Illinois must be licensed to practice within the state. The Illinois Telehealth Act states that “A health care professional treating a patient located in this State through telehealth services must be licensed or authorized to practice in Illinois.” Any out-of-state person providing a service to a patient in IL through telemedicine falls within the jurisdiction of the courts of Illinois.
