Tennessee Reimbursement for Telehealth

Tennessee Medicaid Programs Reimburse for Telehealth services.

The Tennessee Department of Mental Health (TDMH) has conducted extensive research on the use of telemedicine services. Based upon the findings, TDMH believes telemedicine is a viable option for access to behavioral health services that are outside of a thirty (30) mile radius or cannot be received timely within this mileage radius.
