Each state page covers telehealth registrations for out-of-state clinicians, licensure exceptions, whether a patient relationship can start by telehealth, consent, prescribing limits, the state's own controlled-substance registration, private-payer coverage and parity, and corporate practice rules. Every fact links to its statute, regulation or official source, and anything we could not confirm is marked as not verified rather than guessed.
Federal rules that move faster, DEA prescribing and Medicare telehealth, are on their own dated pages: DEA telemedicine rules and Medicare telehealth.
Verified October 8, 2026. 16 jurisdictions offer a telehealth-specific registration or license. This is research, not legal advice; confirm with your counsel before relying on it.
