Can Legacy Physicians offer controlled substance prescriptions through telemedicine visits?
Five things to know:
- The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services issued a final rule on Nov. 15 extending telemedicine prescribing flexibilities for an additional year, according to a news release from the American Hospital Association.
- Under the extension, the agencies will waive the in-person visit requirement for prescribing controlled substances virtually, pushing the deadline to Dec. 31, 2025.
- This includes stimulant medications for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety medications, and medications for opioid use disorder, among others.
- Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, patients needed at least one in-person visit to receive controlled substances.
- The announcement comes after the American Hospital Association advocated for the agencies to extend the prescribing flexibility, which was set to expire at the end of 2024.
I am an Emergency Physician and worked with Dr. Rao for several years at Mercy Lebanon where she was a Hospitalist. It was always a pleasure to work with her. Dr. Rao is professional and courteous, I was always glad when she was on because I knew my patients would be well taken care of in the hospital.
