Second Read and Referred S Families, Seniors and Health Committee
Summary
The bill revises Missouri law so doctors can establish a valid physician‑patient relationship through a telemedicine encounter when an in‑person visit isn’t needed for the standard of care. It requires a medical evaluation, a physical exam only when necessary, and a written report to the patient’s primary provider within 14 days. The changes affect all licensed physicians and their designees who provide telehealth services, aiming to expand access while maintaining safety standards.
