You likely have heard that on May 11, COVID-era public health emergency (PHE) flexibilities in telehealth and prescribing will no longer be in effect. This means several policy changes will take place, including a return of restrictions on telehealth prescribing of controlled substances. At this year's Annual Meeting, members attending in person will have the option of taking part in an exclusive members-only forum on the future of practice and telepsychiatry after the public health emergency ends.

During the session, the Chair of the Committee on Telepsychiatry and the Council on Addiction Psychiatry will discuss federal practice regulations in a post-public health emergency world. They will also share the latest regulatory, policy, and guidance updates from the federal agencies and what it means for your practice.
