AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to broaden the types of licensed healthcare providers, including those licensed by endorsement or without examination, who can establish a valid physician-patient relationship through telemedicine in Oklahoma. The bill specifies that telemedicine and related technologies must comply with federal healthcare privacy laws and that certain controlled substances cannot be prescribed solely through telemedicine. The bill also clarifies that a physician-patient relationship is not created solely by receiving patient health information, but requires the physician to undertake diagnosis and treatment. The bill will take effect on November 1, 2021.
