GLP-1 Telehealth Rules by U.S. State
Which U.S. jurisdictions (50 states + Washington, D.C.) require a live video visit to start GLP-1 treatment by telehealth — plus each jurisdiction's medical board, Medicaid GLP-1 coverage status, and nurse practitioner prescriptive-authority classification (full/reduced/restricted) verified against state nurse practice acts with statute citations.

Why it's useful
Existing telehealth policy trackers don't classify GLP-1 care by synchronous-vs-asynchronous modality per state, carry no NP-authority axis with statute citations, and publish no machine-readable files. This dataset does all three, is re-verified weekly by an automated job, and ships a dated changelog of every substantive rule change.
