Rule Details
Rule Number:
26P013
Title:
Rules for Out-of-State Telehealth Licensure and Registration.
Type:
Standard
Status:
Proposed
Agency:
Office of Professional Regulation, Office of the Secretary of State
Legal Authority:
26 V.S.A. § 3061 and 3 V.S.A. § 801(b)(11).
Summary:
These rules govern the licensing and registration of out-of-state healthcare professionals practicing with Vermont patients via telehealth only. These rules create the permanent system mandated by Act 4 (2023) to replace a system currently operating on an interim basis. The rules provide for eligibility requirements, standards of practice, and mandatory disclosures by out-of-state telehealth professionals. These rules do not apply to practice via telehealth by professionals who hold regular Vermont credentials.
Persons Affected:
Office of Professional Regulation; Department of Vermont Health Access; Current interim telehealth registrants.
Economic Impact:
Currently, interim telehealth registrants pay no fees. This rule will operationalize the application and renewal fee schedule in 26 V.S.A. ch. 56. Depending on the profession and credential, those fees are $73 to $285 for initial applications and $109 to $491 for biannual renewals. We estimate the rule's implementation will generate approximately $430,000 in the first year and $280,000 annually after that.
