New York A01782 allows veterinarians to provide telehealth services under specific conditions.

New York A01782 amends the education law to permit veterinarians to deliver telehealth services. To do so, veterinarians must ensure clients know their identity and contact information, comply with privacy laws, use sound judgment, and have sufficient knowledge of the animal patient. They must also be available for follow-up care and obtain consent before providing services. Telehealth includes assessment, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, and care management but excludes services delivered solely via facsimile or electronic messaging.
