Telehealth

Questions related to telehealth-specific laws and regulations should be directed to the appropriate state licensure board/agency, which can be found here.

Credentialed nutrition and dietetics practitioners who provide telehealth services across state lines are required to comply with all applicable licensure and telehealth-specific laws and regulations of the states where the patients/clients are physically located at the time of service. In addition to licensure or certification requirements, some states have established separate telehealth-specific laws that may require additional steps for compliance.
