The following documents are compilations of state statutes and regulations that address teledentistry or telehealth conducted by oral health practitioners. Each state’s laws and regulations may be divided into three parts: requirements and permissible practices, Medicaid reimbursement, and private payer reimbursement. Some states do not address all three of these topic areas and as a result, a state may have fewer sections.

The chart included provides a brief comparison of common state teledentistry/telehealth policies. It is meant to be quick reference guide and a companion to the compilations. 

Because this analysis only focuses on laws as they apply to oral health care providers, it may not include telehealth policies that apply to other groups of health care practitioners.
