HB1754: Telemedicine; practitioner-patient relationship, continuity of care.

Legislative Summary

Telemedicine; continuity of care. Allows for continuity of care through telemedicine when a practitioner with whom a patient has previously established a practitioner-patient relationship is unavailable at the time in which the patient seeks continuity of care. The bill allows another practitioner of the same subspecialty at the same practice group with access to the patient's treatment history to provide continuity of care using telemedicine services until the practitioner with whom the patient has a previously established practitioner-patient relationship becomes available.
