HB 6001 lets out-of-state providers practice in Connecticut

HB 6001 (2020) allows clinicians licensed in another U.S. state or D.C. to provide telehealth in Connecticut if they're authorized by the Department of Public Health and carry appropriate malpractice insurance. The change widened access to virtual psychiatric care across the state.

Connecticut requires insurance parity for telehealth

Under CT General Statute 38a, Sec. 499a, health insurance policies must cover telehealth services to the same extent as in-person visits, including psychiatric evaluations, therapy, and follow-ups. Coverage can't be denied simply because care wasn't delivered face-to-face.

State defines telehealth standards for diagnosis and treatment

Connecticut's telehealth definition covers real-time video conferencing and store-and-forward digital communication for diagnosis, treatment, and care management. Email, texting, and audio-only phone calls don't qualify, which keeps virtual psychiatric care held to a clear standard.
