ASPE contracted with RAND Health Care to catalogue and assess state changes to Medicaid telehealth policies during the COVID-19 PHE through May 2022 and identify the driving circumstances, motivations, and evidence supporting telehealth policy decisions during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). The purpose of this study was to review changes to state Medicaid telehealth policies and/or new policies enacted during the COVID-19 PHE, examining policies that were rolled back, as well as those made permanent in part or in whole.
