RELATING TO TELEHEALTH.

Summary

The bill permits physicians who are licensed and in good standing in another state to conduct an initial telehealth visit with a patient located in Hawaii, and it clarifies that a physician‑patient relationship can be established this way. It targets out‑of‑state specialists and Hawaii residents who face limited local access, while keeping overall responsibility with a Hawaii‑licensed physician. The change aims to expand specialty care options amid a statewide provider shortage.
