The state medical board is proposing a rule to conform the board’s current telemedicine rules to Acts 630 and 252 (2016), published in the October La Register.
Among other items, the proposed changes are to: remove the requirement that a physician practicing medicine by telemedicine maintain a physical practice location in this state or have an arrangement with physician who does; authorize the use of telemedicine by interactive audio, without the need for video, provided certain conditions are satisfied; provide that a physician refer a patient to another physician in this state or arrange for follow-up care within the state if indicated.
