A 1390 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Expressly allows health care professionals located outside New Jersey to provide services using telemedicine and telehealth to patients in New Jersey.

This bill allows healthcare professionals licensed in New Jersey to provide telemedicine services to New Jersey patients regardless of the provider's physical location outside the state. It maintains the existing requirement that providers must hold a valid New Jersey license, certification, or registration to offer telemedicine services. The law specifies that telemedicine must use real-time communication technology (with limited exceptions for store-and-forward methods) and requires providers to follow the same care standards as in-person visits. It also clarifies prescription rules, including that Schedule II controlled substances require an initial in-person exam unless treating minors with parental consent.
