Scaling telehealth across state lines should open new markets, speed up patient access, and grow revenue. But each new hire in a new state adds another layer of HR compliance risk. Miss one registration or delay a tax account, and providers sit idle while revenue stalls. But there’s good news in all of this. Most telehealth compliance risks are both predictable and preventable if you plan for them upfront. From foreign qualification and payroll tax accounts to state-specific handbooks, the right systems keep everything on track. While HIPAA and clinical regulations get most of the attention, workforce compliance can stop your telehealth practice just as fast. Below are 10 of the most common HR compliance risks for multi-state telehealth companies and, more importantly, how to avoid them.

Your team can’t do their jobs without internet—but who’s responsible for the bill when they’re working from home?

Hiring telehealth providers across multiple states opens new markets, speeds patient access, and drives revenue growth. But every new state also adds a layer of legal risk. A single missed registration or delayed tax account can hold up onboarding for weeks. For telehealth companies, that doesn’t just mean administrative headaches—it means providers sitting idle, patients waiting longer for care, and revenue stuck in limbo. Getting this right doesn’t mean checking boxes after the fact. Compliance needs to be baked into your hiring strategy from the start.
