New Hampshire requires prior face-to-face contact before telehealth for primary care and remote patient monitoring
Summary
New Hampshire generally requires a prior in-person, face-to-face visit before delivering primary care or remote patient monitoring via telehealth, with limited exceptions for certain facility settings. This established-relationship requirement limits new-patient telehealth.
New Hampshire's telehealth policy requires prior face-to-face contact for primary care and remote patient monitoring, except when patients are in settings such as VA facilities, correctional facilities, or community mental health centers. This in-person/established-relationship requirement restricts a clinician's ability to start primary care telehealth with a new patient, particularly affecting patients seeking initial primary care access by telehealth.
