Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to certain records of a health professional providing a telemedicine medical service, teledentistry dental service, or telehealth service.
AI Summary
This bill requires state agencies that regulate health professionals providing telemedicine, teledentistry, or telehealth services to create standardized rules for patient consent documentation. Specifically, these agencies must develop consistent formats and guidelines for recording a patient's consent to treatment, data collection, and data sharing. The rules must address consent documentation unique to telemedicine medical services, teledentistry dental services, and telehealth services, and must include provisions for obtaining consent in audio-only formats, based on the appropriate standard of care. Telemedicine, teledentistry, and telehealth are remote healthcare services delivered through technology such as video calls, phone consultations, or other digital platforms. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and aims to create more uniform and comprehensive consent processes for these increasingly popular remote healthcare services.
