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 located outside New Jersey to provide telemedicine services to patients in New Jersey, updating existing telemedicine law. It directly affects out-of-state healthcare providers seeking to serve NJ patients and NJ patients accessing remote care. Key provisions require out-of-state providers to hold valid NJ licenses, follow NJ's standard of care, use real-time communication for most services (with limited exceptions for store-and-forward technology), and maintain records. The bill also specifies that prescriptions for Schedule II controlled substances generally require initial in-person exams, with a specific exception for minors when using video and parental consent.
