The August agenda of the medical board noted that the group is working on changes to Telemedicine. According to the agenda, “Act 442 of the 2012 Legislative Session, which amended R.S. 37:1271 of the Medical Practice Act, necessitates various changes to the Board’s existing Telemedicine Rules. Preliminary suggestions were presented to the Board during its July 2014 meeting for consideration and discussion. Since that time staff has been working with counsel towards finalizing such suggestions, with the thought of distributing a draft in advance of or at the meeting,” noted the agenda.
