Over 61 million people live in rural towns across the United States. These communities are characterized by their remoteness and low population density, with less than 500 individuals per square mile and a lack of proximity to nearby cities. It’s a unique challenge to implement telehealth in these rural areas.

Rural residents often have less access to quality care than those who live in heavily populated areas. Telehealth changes that scenario.

Many Californians used telehealth services for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid rise in telehealth during the pandemic was made possible, in part, by emergency actions that loosened regulations related to telehealth care.

By removing regulatory obstacles, more Californians can access the vital health care services they need.

HHS recently released a final rule that allows practitioners in Opioid Treatment Programs to start patients on methadone or buprenorphine via telehealth. However, the final rule does not apply to the broader range of providers, leading telehealth advocates to call for additional changes from the DEA.
