for telehealth claims decreased from $68 in 2011 to $38 in 2013.
·
The average 2013
reimbursement was nearly 40% lower than that for non-telehealth claims in 2013.
·
7 states have passed
laws that mandate reimbursement parity between telehealth and non-telehealth
care.
·
Half of
telehealth-related state policies were implemented in the last five years..

Over 200
