Expanding to clients in other states, especially through telehealth, means following the reporting rules of the state where the client is located, as well as your own.
Know who must report
States differ on which professionals are mandated reporters and which groups are covered, such as children, older adults or dependent adults.
Know the thresholds and timelines
States also differ on what level of suspicion triggers a report, how fast you must report and whom you must contact.
Build a simple system
Keep a one-page summary for each state you serve, with contact numbers and deadlines, and review it every year with a qualified source.
Check with your licensing board or a lawyer for the rules that apply to you.
