SB1453

Missouri SB1453 modifies telemedicine provisions, requiring established physician-patient relationships and proper medical evaluations.

Missouri SB1453 modifies provisions relating to telemedicine by requiring physicians to establish a proper physician-patient relationship before providing treatment. This relationship can be established through in-person encounters, consultations with another physician, or telemedicine encounters if an in-person encounter is not required by the standard of care. The bill mandates that any medical evaluation, including physical examinations, must be sufficient to establish an informed diagnosis as though performed in person.
