# 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.

## Columns

See the bundled codebook (`README` in the Zenodo record) for full definitions.
Key fields: `state`, `abbreviation`, `video_visit_required` (bool),
`medical_board`, `medicaid_covers_glp1` (`yes`/`no`/`limited`, weight-loss
indications), `last_updated`, `last_verified`, `url`,
`np_classification` (`full`/`reduced`/`restricted`; blank until that state's
nurse practice act is individually verified), `np_mechanism`,
`np_statute_cite`, `np_verified`.
