AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would let mental health providers employed by a college or university treat that school's students by telehealth in any state where the student is located, even if the provider is licensed only in the school's home state. Before starting, the provider must verify the student's identity, record the student's agreement to telehealth care, and have more than one way to reach the student if technology fails. Providers must follow the rules of their home-state license and may not offer services the student's state prohibits. Malpractice insurance would treat these services as if provided in the home state, and Congress would consent to states forming compacts for this purpose.
