Located in Fairfax, the team at Brian V. Ebert, P.C., brings over 35 years of experience serving health care professionals across Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Our attorneys understand the intersection of health care law and technology, providing telehealth companies with comprehensive legal support tailored to their specific needs. Whether launching a new telehealth platform, expanding service offerings or managing ongoing compliance requirements, we help telehealth providers build sustainable and legally sound operations.
The Evolving Telehealth Landscape
The telehealth industry has transformed from a convenience-focused alternative to traditional care into an essential component of the modern health care ecosystem. In recent years, there has been unprecedented growth, with telehealth visits increasing by over 3,800% for Medicare beneficiaries alone during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This dramatic shift has created both opportunities and legal complications. Temporary regulatory waivers during public health emergencies have given way to more permanent policy changes, creating a complex patchwork of federal and state regulations that telehealth providers must navigate. Our legal team stays at the forefront of these regulatory developments, helping clients adapt their business practices accordingly.
Critical Legal Considerations For Telehealth Companies
Telehealth providers face numerous legal challenges that require careful attention and specialized knowledge. Our attorneys provide guidance on several key areas that directly impact operational decisions and risk management strategies.
- Regulatory compliance with HIPAA, state privacy laws and evolving telehealth-specific regulations
- Cross-state licensing requirements for health care providers offering virtual care across state lines
- Medicare, Medicaid and private-payer reimbursement policies for telehealth services
- Data security protocols and breach notification requirements
- Patient consent documentation for telehealth services
- Corporate structure and governance for multistate telehealth operations
- Technology vendor agreements and liability protection
These legal considerations form the foundation of a compliant and sustainable telehealth operation in the current regulatory environment.
Telehealth Business Models And Legal Implications
Different telehealth business models carry distinct legal considerations. Whether operating under subscription-based services, direct-to-consumer models or provider-to-provider consultation platforms, each approach introduces specific compliance requirements and potential liabilities.
Our attorneys work closely with telehealth companies to develop appropriate legal frameworks that support their chosen business model while minimizing legal exposure. This includes structuring provider relationships, creating compliant marketing strategies and designing payment systems that avoid potential fraud and abuse concerns under federal health care programs.
