A confluence of four factors laid the groundwork for a telehealth renaissance: 

1. Canceling of all non-essential healthcare 

2. Physical distancing and stay-at-home orders 

3. Reimbursement parity between telehealth and in-person visits 

4. Suspension of HIPAA Penalties for telehealth during COVID-19
