Expands how doctors can evaluate patients before prescribing certain controlled medications for substance use disorder. It keeps the rule that there must be at least one in-person medical visit, and newly allows one additional evaluation to be done by telehealth.
A “telehealth evaluation” can be real-time two-way audio-and-video or audio-only. It must be done by a qualified practitioner (not a pharmacist) and must follow all Federal and State laws. The goal is to make it easier for people to start and continue treatment, especially when travel or access is hard, while keeping safety checks in place.
