Telehealth for Veterinary Services

Complete·3/12/26

South Carolina H3223 regulates the use of telehealth for veterinary services, defining terms and setting requirements.

South Carolina H3223 amends the state code to add regulations for the use of telehealth in veterinary services. It defines terms such as "telehealth," "telemedicine," and "teletriage," and sets requirements for licensed veterinarians using telehealth. The bill specifies that a veterinarian-client-patient relationship must be established through in-person examinations or visits, and outlines conditions under which telehealth can be used. It also mandates that veterinarians ensure technology quality, client consent, and privacy protection when providing services virtually.
