Rhode Island H7741 allows out-of-state licensed APRNs, physicians, and physician assistants to provide telemedicine services to Rhode Island patients.

Rhode Island H7741 allows advanced practice registered nurses (APRN), physicians, and physician assistants licensed in other states or U.S. territories to provide telemedicine services to patients in Rhode Island. These professionals must have appropriate professional liability insurance coverage and be licensed and in good standing in their home jurisdictions. The bill specifies conditions under which these out-of-state providers can operate, including maintaining an established patient-provider relationship and adhering to the same standard of care as in-person services.
