Under VA telehealth policy, which licensure arrangement is allowed?

The main concept here is licensure flexibility for VA telehealth across state lines. In VA practice, a clinician who is licensed in their own state can provide telemental health to a veteran who is located at the veteran’s home, even if the veteran is in a different state, as long as the clinician is properly credentialed with the VA and in good standing in their home state. This means no requirement to hold a license in the veteran’s state, and no need for a separate federal telehealth license, and it allows cross-state care within the VA system. For example, a clinician licensed in their home state can treat a veteran at the veteran’s home location remotely, provided VA credentialing is complete.
