To clarify our 03/16/2020 communication below, the Board is not mandating closures.
In answer to the many questions about “telepractice” or “telemedicine”, the following apply:
- You may use electronic means to recommend, change, or address activities which do not require “direct patient contact” such as at home exercise, general hygiene, at home palliative care, nutrition, diet and general wellness recommendations and referrals.
- Physician activities which require ”direct patient contact”, such as examinations, shall not be conducted via electronic means.
