A report of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (under Section 109 of Chapter 9 of the Acts of 2025) submitting a report from the Massachusetts Telehealth Task Force
This report details the work of the Massachusetts Telehealth Task Force, which was created to study how doctors can legally provide virtual care to patients in other states. The group examined various strategies, such as joining interstate licensing agreements or creating special registration systems, to help physicians maintain continuity of care for mobile patients. The task force analyzed these models to identify ways to remove barriers that currently prevent doctors licensed in Massachusetts from treating patients who travel temporarily outside the state. Ultimately, the document presents findings and recommendations to the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing on how to improve access to telehealth services across state lines.
