whether the policy is defined administratively in the Medicaid program, unless otherwise noted. In many
instances the specific policy is found in both law and/or regulations and administrative policy, but that is
not always the case. This report primarily addresses the individual state’s policies that govern telehealth
use when seeking Medicaid coverage for service. However, we have also included a specific category
that describes whether a state has established any specific policies that require private insurers to pay for
telehealth services. A glossary is also available at the end of the report.

We hope you find the report useful, and welcome your feedback and questions. You can direct your
inquiries to Mei Kwong, Program Director of the CCHP National Telehealth Resource Center for Policy at
meik@cchpca.org, or Christine Calouro, Project Coordinator, at christinec@cchpca.org. We would also
like to thank our colleagues at each of the twelve HRSA-funded Regional Telehealth Resource Centers
who contributed to ensuring the accuracy of the information in this document. For further information,
