Bill Summary
This bill proposes to allow telehealth appointments to be recorded if both the patient and the provider consent.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Vermont law to allow for the recording of telehealth appointments, which are healthcare services provided remotely through technology. Specifically, it modifies sections of the law concerning telemedicine (healthcare delivered via video or other electronic means) and audio-only telephone consultations. The key provision is that neither a healthcare provider nor a patient can record these consultations unless both parties explicitly consent to the recording. This change aims to provide flexibility for both patients and providers in documenting these remote medical interactions, with the crucial safeguard of mutual agreement.
