New York telehealth policy milestones
Notable telehealth and mental-health policy milestones in New York — how access to online psychiatric care has expanded for residents here.
New York's 2021 push to expand behavioral telehealth
As part of his 2021 State of the State, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced legislation to expand and improve access to telehealth across New York, highlighting it as a critical tool to expand access especially for behavioral health support after the COVID-19 pandemic. TelepsychHealth provides psychiatric care to New York patients by video.

OMH telemental health rules (14 NYCRR Part 596)
New York Office of Mental Health regulations under 14 NYCRR Part 596 have progressively expanded who may deliver telemental health services, broadening the definition of "telehealth practitioner" and allowing more providers to see patients virtually. This has widened the range of clinicians available for telepsychiatry across the state.
New York State Office of Mental Health
Telehealth covered at parity with in-person care
Under New York Insurance Law, insurers may not exclude a covered hospital, medical, or surgical service from coverage simply because it is delivered via telehealth, subject to reasonable utilization management and quality assurance requirements. This helps make virtual psychiatric care accessible to residents across the state.
