Permitting care of patient by telemedicine across state lines

West Virginia's SB 167 creates a registration system allowing out-of-state medical providers to offer telehealth services to patients in West Virginia, without requiring full state licensure. It directly affects out-of-state doctors seeking to provide telemedicine and West Virginia patients accessing cross-state care. Key provisions include requiring out-of-state providers to be licensed in good standing in their home state, register with West Virginia boards, and follow rules like having established patients see a provider in person within 12 months (with exceptions for certain specialties like addiction or palliative care). The bill also prohibits prescribing Schedule II controlled substances or abortifacients via telehealth and mandates compliance with West Virginia's professional standards.
