With the complexities and lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth became essential in providing health care to millions of Americans. What was once a tool to connect rural patients to urban doctors, telehealth became a staple to help provide care for all patients. During COVID, to facilitate telehealth for more patients, federal and state regulators relaxed laws to allow more people easier access to this technology. For instance, Congress enacted telehealth waiver rules, which loosened Medicare coverage requirements by increasing the population eligible to receive telehealth treatments. The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and many states also relaxed licensure requirements to allow doctors to provide telehealth services across state lines more easily.
