Good-faith examination in Indiana
Indiana states the prescribing condition directly: a prescriber may issue a prescription without a prior in-person examination only where the standard of care is met, the prescriber is acting within scope, and a valid provider-patient relationship exists.
A prescriber may issue a prescription without a prior in-person exam only if the applicable standard of care is satisfied, the prescription is within the prescriber’s scope, and a valid provider-patient relationship has been established — including identity/location verification, informed consent, a medical history sufficient to establish a diagnosis, and discussion of the diagnosis and risks/benefits.

MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened. Read the cited source, check its effective date, and confirm any change to your operations or clinical practice with qualified health-law counsel and your medical director.
