Online Prescribing

A provider offering telehealth services shall at all times:

act within the scope of the provider’s license; and
be held to the same standards of practice as those applicable in traditional health care settings

If the provider does not already have a provider-patient relationship with the patient, establish a provider-patient relationship during the patient encounter in a manner consistent with the standards of practice, including providing the provider’s licensure and credentials to the patient;

Before providing treatment or prescribing a prescription drug, establish a diagnosis and identify underlying conditions and contraindications to a recommended treatment after:

obtaining from the patient or another provider the patient’s relevant clinical history; and
documenting the patient’s relevant clinical history and current symptoms;

Be available to a patient who receives telehealth services from the provider for subsequent care related to the initial telemedicine services, in accordance with community standards of practice.

Be familiar with available medical resources, including emergency resources near the originating site, in order to make appropriate patient referrals when medically indicated.

Make available to each patient receiving telehealth services the patient’s medical records; and

If the patient has a designated health care provider who is not the telemedicine provider:

Consult with the patient regarding whether to provide the patient’s designated health care provider a medical record or other report containing an explanation of the treatment provided to the patient and the telemedicine provider’s evaluation, analysis, or diagnosis of the patient’s condition;
Collect from the patient the contact information of the patient’s designated health care provider; and
Within two weeks after the day on which the telemedicine provider provides services to the patient, and to the extent allowed under HIPAA as that term is defined in Section 26-18-17, provide the medical record or report to the patient’s designated health care provider, unless the patient indicates that the patient does not want the telemedicine provider to send the medical record or report to the patient’s designated health care provider.
