Description

Telepsychiatry is integral to mental health care, yet the legal and regulatory landscape remains fragmented and rapidly changing. Clinicians struggle with inconsistent rules around cross‑state practice, evolving controlled substance prescribing standards, shifting payer telehealth policies, and platform requirements. What is often missing is a clear, up‑to‑date, and clinician‑friendly framework. This presentation will outline the current regulatory environment for telepsychiatry, including licensure and compacts, prescribing controlled substances via telemedicine, privacy and security obligations, malpractice and risk management, and safety protocols for virtual care. Attendees will gain tools that they can implement immediately to align their telepsychiatry practice with current laws and best practices.
