Telehealth and Telemedicine Services that Meet the Needs of Real Virginians

Hospitals across Virginia are under growing pressure to stabilize provider coverage, expand access, and comply with changing care delivery regulations. From large health systems to rural clinics, traditional staffing models often struggle to keep up. That’s why telehealth services and telemedicine programs have become a critical strategy for long-term operational resilience.

Alina Telehealth works hand-in-hand with healthcare organizations throughout Old Dominion to build programs that directly align with your team, not work around it. We help reduce turnover and burnout while maintaining care consistency across inpatient, outpatient, and specialty departments. Every solution is designed to integrate with your workflows and support your existing clinical teams, not replace them.

Long-Term Telemedicine Staffing Solutions for Virginia Providers

Temporary locum tenens coverage may fill a shift, but it rarely builds momentum. Alina Telehealth helps hospitals move beyond stopgap staffing with sustained access to credentialed specialists who stay with your team. Whether you’re operating in the heart of Richmond or managing multiple facilities in the Shenandoah Valley, we design staffing programs that scale with your needs.

Our providers deliver consistent support across a wide range of service lines from psychiatry and cardiology to infectious disease and nephrology. Every placement is structured around your internal systems, so you can maintain care standards while adapting to changing volume.

Staying Compliant With Virginia Telehealth Laws

Each state sets its own licensing, supervision, and billing requirements, and Virginia’s are no exception. Hospitals must ensure that every telemedicine service complies with these standards, including those set by Medicaid and commercial insurers.

Alina Telehealth takes a proactive approach to compliance, coordinating directly with your legal and administrative teams. We manage credentialing, technology alignment, documentation, and ongoing oversight to help ensure that your program meets Virginia telehealth laws from day one.

Service Lines That Expand Access Without Adding Strain

Even well-resourced hospitals can hit capacity limits, especially when specialists are in short supply. Our telehealth services help extend access across departments without overloading local staff. Whether you’re working to expand behavioral health programs or reduce patient transfers from rural facilities, we help close the gap.

Here’s a sampling of the 20+ specialities we support across Virginia:

  • Telepsychiatrist coverage for crisis response and ongoing care
  • Tele-ID consults to improve antibiotic stewardship and infection control
  • Teleendocrinology support for inpatient consults and management of chronic conditions

From Northern Virginia to the Tidewater region, our programs are designed to strengthen your care delivery, not just patch holes in the schedule.

Our network supports hospitals in most states, but each region has its own priorities and challenges. If you’re growing beyond Virginia or rethinking how to structure multi-state support, we’ll help you design a telemedicine strategy that works across your entire system without losing sight of local care needs. We currently have telespecialists available in:

Hospitals across Virginia deserve telemedicine services that support both their short-term needs and long-term goals. Contact Alina Telehealth to explore a staffing program built to scale with your team and sustain high-quality care in every setting.

FAQs About Telemedicine & Telehealth in Virginia

How do hospitals use telehealth services in Virginia?

Telehealth services in Virginia are used to improve access, reduce provider strain, and support specialty care across hospitals of all sizes. Many facilities use these services for psychiatry, infectious disease consults, cardiology, and chronic care management. Alina Telehealth helps hospitals in Virginia design telemedicine services that integrate into daily operations and strengthen existing care teams.

Does Virginia allow out-of-state telehealth?

Yes, but with strict requirements. Out-of-state providers must be licensed or registered with the Virginia Board of Medicine to deliver telehealth services to patients located in the state. Some exceptions can apply for certain temporary or emergency situations, but in the majority of cases, most hospitals must ensure that all clinicians are fully credentialed for Virginia. Alina Telehealth handles provider licensure to help ensure full compliance across your programs.

Does Cigna pay for telehealth in Virginia?

Yes, Cigna covers many telehealth services in Virginia, but coverage depends on the patient’s specific plan and the type of service being provided. Most major insurers offer reimbursement for telemedicine when it meets both state and payer requirements. Alina Telehealth coordinates directly with hospitals to structure care models that meet these guidelines and align with payer policies.

Can hospitals in rural Virginia support telehealth psychiatrist services?

Absolutely. Telehealth psychiatrist services can be a critical support line for rural hospitals in Virginia where access to behavioral health specialists is often extremely limited. These services can be used for scheduled consults, emergency evaluations, or ongoing treatment, depending on the facility’s needs. Alina Telehealth connects hospitals with licensed psychiatrists trained to deliver high-quality care through secure platforms.

What are the key Virginia telehealth laws hospitals should be aware of?

Virginia telehealth laws include requirements around provider licensure, supervision, modality (the method used for the virtual visit, either by phone or video, typically), and documentation. Medicaid and commercial payers may also impose additional guidelines for billing and reimbursement. Alina Telehealth works directly with hospital administrators to ensure every aspect of care delivery and reporting follows Virginia’s legal standards.
