Hi Shannon, Our staff at Telehealth Certification Institute is looking into this question as we have been receiving it more frequently. If working with Tricare or another military insurance, or if an employee of the military, things are definitely streamlined. It would be good to look up the applicable laws of the country in which they are deployed, such as whether or not this is a recognized and protected service in that country. There may be embassy resources to assist in this.

I am researching the possibility of providing telehealth services to a current client who is a military spouse and is moving to Korea with her spouse. I am fully licensed in the state of Oklahoma. Tricare has stated they will not pay for telehealth services in Korea but I am trying to determine if I can provide those services to her if I don't bill Tricare.
