Yes, each state has different parity laws. I thought TX had parity, but on closer inspection, it's not really payment parity, just coverage parity. You can see all the different state laws here: https://www.cchpca.org/telehealth-policy/current-state-laws-and-reimbursement-policies#

Thank you Bert! I did change the message already but we're still not seeing many people interested in telemed. Or maybe it's just because nobody is getting sick. I need to find another way to blast text message all the patients. I did it on Updox but unfortunately, we have been putting the patients' cell phone numbers in the "phone number" box instead of "cell phone" box since we started using AC and the Updox blast only reads the cell phone box. frown
