Relating to certain records of a health professional providing a telemedicine medical service, teledentistry dental service, or telehealth service.

HB 1700 requires Texas health regulatory agencies to create standardized rules for recording patient consent related to telemedicine, teledentistry, and telehealth services. It specifically mandates consistent formats and retention for consent documentation covering treatment, data collection, and data sharing. The rules must address differences between service types (medical, dental, or general telehealth) and include requirements for audio-only consent documentation. This law affects health professionals providing remote care and the agencies that regulate them, taking effect September 1, 2025.
