Can the pre-treatment exam be done by telehealth in Nevada?
Intake · part of The Practice Perimeter
Short answer
Yes — a Nevada-licensed provider may establish the patient relationship by telehealth where doing so is clinically appropriate for that treatment; telehealth does not expand scope of practice or lower the standard of care that would apply in person.
A provider of health care may establish a relationship with a patient using telehealth when it is clinically appropriate to establish a relationship with a patient in that manner. The State Board of Health may adopt regulations governing the process by which a provider of health care may establish a relationship with a patient using telehealth.

Before a provider of health care who is located at a distant site may use telehealth to direct or manage the care or render a diagnosis of a patient who is located at an originating site in this State or write a treatment order or prescription for such a patient, the provider must hold a valid license or certificate to practice his or her profession in this State.

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.
