Care Without Borders: Interstate Care, Real World Challenges

 

ATA Virtual Insights Session featuring LIFTT

Licensure remains one of the most stubborn barriers standing between virtual care and the patients it could reach. Why did state licensure develop the way it did, how do laws differ from state to state, and where does federal preemption already apply?

This 90-minute peer exchange will explore the legal and regulatory landscape of interstate care and the efforts underway to address these barriers. Learn about ongoing legal challenges, the Licensure Innovation for Telehealth Transformation (LIFTT) initiative and its implications for patients seeking care across state lines, and the principles guiding the Cross-State Care Coalition (CCC)—including what meaningful, lasting reform requires.

More than a traditional webinar or panel, this interactive roundtable invites participants to share real-world patient stories, discuss challenges and potential solutions, and explore opportunities to get involved with LIFTT and the CCC.

Bring your questions, experiences, and perspectives to the conversation as we work toward practical solutions and meaningful legislative change.
