With the Public Health Emergency (PHE) officially ending on May 11, 2023, there is much uncertainty about what the future of coverage and reimbursement looks like for behavioral health services rendered via Telehealth. Once the PHE expires, many rules and regulations will revert to pre-pandemic requirements. There are currently significant debates about whether the Ryan Haight Act’s in-person exam requirements for prescribing controlled substances will be reinstated.
