Starting April 14, 2021, providers may supervise their medical assistants during a telemedicine visit using interactive audio and video technology. The Legislature recently passed House Bill 1378, enabling this practice.
Before this law, a health care practitioner had to be present on site while a medical assistant was performing tasks associated with a telemedicine visit. Now, physical presence in the same facility is no longer required during a telemedicine visit, so long as the other requirements regarding delegation are met.
