NY A01259

Allows physicians licensed in other U.S. states or territories to practice in New York via telehealth when their home state has a reciprocal agreement with New York, limited to time-limited follow-up care for their established patients

Defines "established patient" as one where the physician has assumed responsibility for medical judgments, has sufficient knowledge for at least a preliminary diagnosis, and has had at least one in-person visit within the past year

Requires out-of-state physicians to notify the department, prove current licensure in good standing, pay a fee, and attest they do not maintain an office or practice primarily in New York

Physicians practicing under this provision must consent to New York's disciplinary jurisdiction, including the Board of Regents and Board of Professional Medical Conduct, as if they were New York licensees

Authorization to practice under this reciprocal agreement expires annually unless renewed
