Can the pre-treatment exam be done by telehealth in Maine?
Intake · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
Yes, if the technology supports an informed diagnosis as though in person. Chapter 15 requires relevant history and a pertinent physical exam when clinically necessary, sufficient for diagnosis and treatment; a static questionnaire is insufficient.
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.

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.
