A duly licensed physician may remotely consult with a duly licensed and qualified Advanced
Practice Registered Nurse (“APRN”) or Physician’s Assistant (“PA”), who is in a hospital
setting, using telemedicine. The physician providing Emergency Telemedicine must be either
board certified or board eligible in emergency medicine. The Board may waive this requirement
under extra ordinary circumstances.
For the purposes of Emergency Telemedicine services, licensees will only be authorized to
provide the aforementioned services to those emergency departments of licensed hospitals who
have an average daily census of fifty (50) or fewer acute care/medical surgical occupied beds as
defined by their Medicare Cost Report. Exceptions may be considered by the Board for
physicians affiliated with facilities maintaining greater than fifty (50) beds, but not more than
one hundred (100) beds.
Satellite Centers who receive telemedicine services/assistance from a Primary Center must have
a transfer agreement with a facility that offers a higher level of care, in order to send any patients
who require transfer for a higher level of care.
