Telemedicine
Ohio House Bill 122 allows telemedicine evaluations for Ohio medical marijuana patients!
What is Telemedicine?
Telemedicine is the practice of medicine using technology to deliver care at a distance.
What are the benefits of Telemedicine?
Telemedicine permits patients to access healthcare services remotely. This is particularly important in areas where medical providers are not as available; for patients without convenient access to transportation; or to those that suffer from debilitating conditions which affect mobility.
Telemedicine also allows medical practices to scale back their operating expenses and reduce time spent on administrative tasks. In most cases, this lowers costs for patients and third-party payers.
Are there any drawbacks to Telemedicine?
A concern for the provision of healthcare services by telemedicine is lower quality interactions and diminished provider-patient relationships. Some medical services and conditions require in-person visits to conduct a comprehensive examination. If telemedicine is used as a substitute, the patient may not receive the highest standard of care.
Telemedicine, under certain conditions, is allowable in Ohio. The State Medical Board has expanded services which can be provided through telemedicine if providers document their use of telemedicine and meet minimum standards of care.
The Medical Board of Ohio has included medical marijuana recommendations in their expansion of telemedicine services.
Telemedicine allows medical marijuana physicians to confirm the diagnosis of a qualifying condition made by a previous healthcare professional without an in-person office visit, providing greater access and reducing costs.
Ohio House Bill 122, sponsored by The Honorable Mark Fraizer and Adam Holmes, serves as an important and common sense expansion of Ohio's telehealth policy.
The bill has been signed into law. Telemedicine for medical marijuana evaluations will be permanently implemented in Ohio, rather than a temporary extension through March 2022.

Our cannabis physicians confirm a qualifying condition, but do not provide an initial diagnosis. At MyMedicine, we believe that the service we provide is appropriately priced based on this care model.
