Telehealth Regulations

Telehealth regulations are rules set by governments and health authorities that govern how healthcare services are delivered remotely, typically through phone or video calls. These regulations ensure patient safety, confidentiality, and the quality of care while allowing doctors to diagnose and treat patients from afar. They address issues like licensure (whether a provider can practice in a certain state), reimbursement policies (how providers get paid), and standards for technology used in telehealth. As telehealth has grown, regulations have adapted to balance access to care with the need for proper oversight and accountability.
