Bill overview
The TREAT Act temporarily allows healthcare professionals licensed in one state to provide telehealth and in-person medical services to patients in other states, regardless of the professional’s usual location. This is intended to address challenges in accessing healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as travel restrictions and overwhelmed healthcare systems. The bill establishes guidelines for these services, including verification of patient identity and notification to licensing authorities. It also grants regulatory bodies the authority to investigate and discipline professionals providing services under this temporary authorization.
