Lets people get initial telehealth evaluations for certain addiction treatments.
People needing certain addiction drugs could get their first medical check-up online. Right now, an in-person visit is needed to get these specific drugs. This bill would add a telehealth visit as an option for that first check-up.
Today, a doctor must see you in person for your first medical check-up before they can give you certain controlled drugs for addiction treatment. If this bill becomes law, patients would have the option to get that first check-up through a telehealth visit for specific FDA-approved drugs in schedules III, IV, or V. The in-person visit would still be an option.
