NJ A1390

Health care providers physically located outside New Jersey may provide telemedicine and telehealth services to patients within the state, as long as they hold valid New Jersey licensure, certification, or registration

Providers must maintain New Jersey liability insurance and remain subject to New Jersey jurisdiction and professional regulatory oversight when treating patients in the state

The bill amends existing telemedicine law (P.L.2017, c.117) by adding language clarifying that provider location does not matter when delivering remote health care services

All existing telemedicine requirements remain in effect, including standard of care obligations, patient consent rules, prescription regulations, and medical record-keeping duties

Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions still require an initial in-person examination and follow-up visits every three months, with an exception for stimulants prescribed to minors with parental consent
