On July 16, 2020, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed an executive order to extend and improve emergency rules that will provide additional flexibilities to allow health care professionals to deliver services via telehealth.
Through the emergency rules, the executive order permits the use of audio, video, and even text messaging to allow people to access critical health care services while remaining socially distant and safe.
These rules will apply to a variety of healthcare services, including critical mental health and addiction services. The rules will expire in 120 days, unless adopted into law.
