Michigan HB4200 amends veterinary practice laws to allow telemedicine consultations and drug prescriptions under certain conditions.

Michigan HB4200 amends existing laws to allow veterinarians to conduct consultations for animals through telemedicine, provided a veterinarian-client-patient relationship is established. A veterinarian may prescribe drugs for up to 14 days without refills, but must conduct at least one in-person examination annually. The bill also outlines conditions under which veterinarians can practice without a formal relationship, such as in emergency situations.
