Allows examinations and evaluations for contact lens prescriptions to be conducted via telemedicine in Michigan.

Michigan HB4558 amends existing laws to allow examinations and evaluations for contact lens prescriptions to be conducted via telemedicine. This includes allowing licensed professionals to use electronic media to link with patients for these evaluations. The bill maintains that the standard of care must be the same as in-person evaluations and requires that patients have had an in-person examination within the last two years. It also mandates that prescriptions include specific details such as the patient's name, the date of the examination, and the prescribing licensee's information.
