An act relating to telemedicine

This bill updates Vermont laws to clarify how telemedicine and store-and-forward services work, affecting doctors, dentists, and patients who use remote healthcare. It defines telemedicine as using audio or video technology for diagnosis and treatment, and store-and-forward as sending medical information like images or lab results without real-time interaction. The bill requires providers to get patient consent before using telemedicine, explains the benefits and limits of remote care, and ensures secure connections while allowing exceptions for emergencies. It also prohibits recording telemedicine consultations and lets patients choose between remote or in-person care, though providers aren't required to offer specific formats.
