Nationwide Care: How Multi-State Telehealth Licensing Works
Your provider must be licensed where you are, not where they are. That single rule shapes the entire model.
Medical licensure is state-based. A compliant telehealth service maintains a provider network licensed in every state it serves.
Where you are is what counts
Care is governed by the state you are physically located in at the time of the visit — including while traveling.
What that means for prescriptions
Some states impose additional requirements for specific medication classes. Your provider applies them automatically during intake.
Continuity when you move
Tell your care team when your address changes so your chart is reassigned to a provider licensed in your new state.
Frequently asked
Can I use the service while traveling?
Within the United States, yes, provided a licensed provider covers the state you are in at the time of your visit.
Do prescriptions transfer between states?
Your chart follows you; the prescribing provider may change to one licensed where you now live.
