1.
A. The
			 Provider performs a history and an "in person" physical examination of the
			 patient adequate to establish a diagnosis and identify underlying conditions
			 and/or contraindications to the treatment recommended/provided, OR
B. The Provider has access to a patient's
			 personal health record, defined by ACA §

et seq.,
as relevant clinical information required to treat a
			 patient, that is maintained by a Provider and uses any technology deemed
			 appropriate by the Provider, including the telephone, with a patient located in
			 Arkansas to diagnose, treat, and if clinically appropriate, prescribe a
			 noncontrolled drug to the patient.
1. A
			 proper professional relationship does not include one established only by
			 internet questionnaire, email message, patient-generated medical history, text
			 message, facsimile, or any combination of these means.
C. The Provider personally knows the patient
			 and the patient's general health status through an "ongoing" personal or
			 professional relationship;

			 follow-up be provided or arranged, when necessary, at medically necessary

			 information required to treat a patient, and is reviewed by the healthcare
			 professional who meets the same standard of care for a telemedicine visit as an
			 in-person visit.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A regulation shall "serve the same
				  purpose," as that term is used in Government Code Section
				  11349(f),
				  where it either repeats or rephrases in whole or in part a state or federal
				  statute or regulation.
(b) A
				  regulation which duplicates a state or federal statute or regulation shall,
				  nonetheless, meet the "nonduplication" standard of Government Code Section
				  11349.1 if
				  any one of the following conditions is met:
(1) The proposed regulation duplicates or
				  overlaps a state or federal statute or regulation which is cited as "authority"
				  or "reference" for the proposed regulation and the duplication or overlap is
				  necessary to satisfy the "clarity" standard of Government Code Section
				  11349.1(a)(3).
				  Justification for such duplication shall be provided by inclusion of facts,
				  explanations, expert opinions or other information in the rulemaking record
				  which establish that the overlap or duplication is necessary in order for the
				  regulation to satisfy the requirements of Government Code Section
				  11349.1(a)(3);
				  or
(2) The agency meets the
				  requirement of Government Code Section
				  11346.9(c)
				  when adopting or amending federally mandated regulations; or
(3) The duplication is mandated or authorized
				  by a specified statute or other provision of law. The agency shall include a
				  statement in its rulemaking record which:
(A)
				  identifies the state or federal statute(s) or regulation(s) which the
				  regulation under review overlaps or duplicates, and
(B) identifies the provision of law which
				  mandates or permits the overlap or duplication.
This statement shall set forth the applicable provision of
					 law in a citation style which clearly identifies the statute or regulation and
					 provides information necessary to locate the full text of the statute or
					 regulation.

				  for printing in the California Code of Regulations:
(1) a California constitutional or statutory
				  provision which expressly permits or obligates the agency to adopt, amend, or
				  repeal the regulation; or
(2) a
				  California constitutional or statutory provision that grants a power to the

					 requirement of Government Code section
					 11349.1,
					 OAL shall apply the following standards and presumptions:
(a) A regulation shall be presumed not to
				  comply with the "clarity" standard if any of the following conditions exists:
(1) the regulation can, on its face, be
				  reasonably and logically interpreted to have more than one meaning;
				  or
(2) the language of the
				  regulation conflicts with the agency's description of the effect of the
				  regulation; or
(3) the regulation
				  uses terms which do not have meanings generally familiar to those "directly
				  affected" by the regulation, and those terms are defined neither in the
				  regulation nor in the governing statute; or
(4) the regulation uses language incorrectly.
				  This includes, but is not limited to, incorrect spelling, grammar or
				  punctuation; or
(5) the regulation
				  presents information in a format that is not readily understandable by persons
				  "directly affected;" or
(6) the
				  regulation does not use citation styles which clearly identify published
				  material cited in the regulation.
