<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif">Are you a telehealth provider? Do you prescribe over the Internet? Well, did you know that 35 states require an in-person physical exam before you prescribe? No? Well, you are not alone…<br>
<br>These laws are continually changing and pretty confusing. All 50 states have different laws on this one issue. Some states require that you have a physical exam, while other states require that you have an established physician-patient relationship, obtain medical history and establish follow-up care.<br>
<br>CTeL is kicking off the new year by helping our members get answers to these tough questions, through our Washington Live! Brown Bag Telehealth Webinars. Please join us on Monday, January 31<sup>st</sup> for an insider’s look at prescribing laws with our Brown Bag – <em>I’m a Doctor but Can I Prescribe Through Telehealth? </em>The Executive Director for the Texas State Medical Board, Mari Robinson, JD and the Deputy Executive Director of Discipline for the Virginia Board of Medicine, Jennifer Deschenes, JD, MS will discuss their state’s Internet prescribing laws. <br>
<br>We look forward to seeing you there! Please click here to sign-up for the most amazing hour of your life (well at least we think:)<br> <br>P.S. CTeL has “insider” information that it is looking forward to sharing with you at the Brown Bag. <br>
