Kyle Faget Authors Article on Telehealth Federal and State Considerations After COVID
Foley & Lardner LLP Health Care and Life Sciences Practice Groups Co-Chair Kyle Faget authored an article, “Telehealth After COVID: Federal and State Considerations,” for the American Health Law Association (AHLA) Journal of Health and Life Sciences Law.
The article explores how states and the federal government pivoted to make telehealth more accessible during the COVID-19 public health emergency, and how loss of the flexibilities afforded during the pandemic may impact the ability to deliver care via telehealth post-pandemic. Issues covered include state licensure requirements, waivers thereto, the interstate medical licensure compact and similar compacts available for other provider types, and exceptions to licensure that may enable providers to continue delivering care in certain situations post-pandemic across state lines.
