Telemedicine Prescribing

Meaning

Telemedicine prescribing is the clinical practice of evaluating a patient, diagnosing a condition, and issuing a prescription for medication through remote communication technologies, such as video conferencing, secure messaging, or telephone calls. This modality allows for the remote delivery of hormonal health consultations and management, improving access to care for patients who may face geographical or logistical barriers. Regulatory compliance, including adherence to state-specific prescribing laws and the use of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs, is a crucial component of this practice.
