- The National Public Health Emergency [PHE] has been extended for another 90 days until ~10/19/21. Emergency orders/states of emergency are starting to expire in many states. This impacts provider’s ability to perform telemedicine visits for out-of-state patients:

- Florida: Expired 6/27/21.
- Maryland: state of emergency will end on 8/15/21. Providers must be licensed in the state where the patient is located at the time of the visit; hence, providers must be licensed in Maryland to provide telemedicine to patients located in Maryland at the time of the visit.
- New Jersey: Emergency licenses expired 6/30/21. Temporary licenses extended to 9/30/2021.
- New York: Expired 6/25/21.
