Connecticut telehealth policy milestones
Notable telehealth and mental-health policy milestones in Connecticut — how access to online psychiatric care has expanded for residents here.
HB 6001 (2020) temporarily allowed out-of-state telehealth providers
Connecticut's HB 6001, enacted in the July 2020 special session (Public Act 20-2), temporarily allowed clinicians licensed in another U.S. state, territory, or D.C. to provide telehealth in Connecticut if authorized by the Department of Public Health and carrying appropriate malpractice insurance. Those emergency provisions expired March 15, 2021, though the legislature continued and extended similar telehealth flexibilities in later acts, broadening access to virtual psychiatric care.

2018 S.B. 302 expanded CT telemedicine prescribing for psychiatric and SUD care
Connecticut's S.B. 302 (Public Act 18-148, 2018) lets telehealth providers prescribe Schedule II and III controlled substances other than opioid drugs by telemedicine for patients with a psychiatric disability or substance use disorder, including medication-assisted treatment. Now codified at CGS § 19a-906, the law broadened access to remote psychiatric and addiction treatment.

Connecticut requires insurance parity for telehealth
Under Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 38a-499a, individual health insurance policies must cover care delivered through telehealth to the same extent they cover the same care provided in person, subject to the same terms and conditions. A service cannot be excluded from coverage solely because it was delivered by telehealth rather than face-to-face, which supports coverage for virtual psychiatric care.
Connecticut General Statutes § 38a-499a
State defines telehealth standards for diagnosis and treatment
Connecticut law defines telehealth as delivering care through synchronous (real-time) video interactions, asynchronous store-and-forward transfers, or remote patient monitoring for the diagnosis, consultation, treatment, and care management of a patient's physical and mental health. Facsimile, texting, and email don't qualify, keeping virtual psychiatric care held to a clear standard.
