Good-faith examination in Idaho

Idaho’s Virtual Care Access Act permits virtual care where a provider-patient relationship already exists, where the patient has that relationship with another provider in the same provider group, where the provider is covering calls for a provider who has it, or where the provider is performing activities set out in §54-1733(3). The relationship itself MAY be established by use of virtual care technologies — but the statute attaches a condition rather than a technology list: the applicable IDAHO COMMUNITY STANDARD OF CARE must be satisfied. These claims survey section 54-5705; requirements imposed elsewhere in the Act or by board rule are not surveyed here.

• A provider may provide virtual care to a patient if such provider has first established a provider-patient relationship with the patient, the patient has a provider-patient relationship with another provider in the provider group, the provider is covering calls for a provider with an established relationship with the patient, or the provider is performing any activities set forth in section 54-1733(3), Idaho Code.
