Good-faith examination in Maine
Maine’s telehealth subchapter permits a licensee of the medical chapter to provide telehealth services so long as the licensee acts within the scope of the license, within the subchapter’s own requirements and restrictions, and in accordance with standards of practice — and it carries the rest of the licensee’s obligations across unchanged: all laws and rules on professional responsibility, unprofessional conduct and generally accepted standards of practice apply while providing telehealth, as do state and federal confidentiality and privacy laws. The subchapter defines telehealth services broadly enough to include asynchronous encounters and store-and-forward transfers, not only real-time video. These claims survey subchapter 4 of chapter 48; requirements imposed elsewhere in Maine law or by board rule are not surveyed here.
A person licensed under this chapter may provide telehealth services as long as the licensee acts within the scope of practice of the licensee’s license, in accordance with any requirements and restrictions imposed by this subchapter and in accordance with standards of practice.
