Navigating Telemedicine Requirements for Licensing, Scope of Practice and Reimbursement

One of the biggest regulatory challenges of telemedicine is licensure. Both physicians and non-physician practitioners must meet the differing requirements of each state in which they are consulting, diagnosing or treating patients. Obtaining the appropriate licenses is a costly and burdensome process.

The panel will provide guidance for counsel to healthcare facilities and practitioners on the requirements and exceptions for telemedicine licensing. The panel will offer best practices for overcoming licensing challenges and discuss what providers should do to comply with the requirements.

They will review these and other key questions:

• What are the regulatory challenges with meeting licensing requirements in multiple states?



• What are the exceptions of telemedicine licensure?



• What telemedicine services are covered by Medicare? By Medicaid?
