Requirements for the good-faith examination before treatment. Below are the Oklahoma rules that govern it, each linked to its primary source.
Good-faith examination in Oklahoma
Oklahoma states its pre-treatment rule as a disciplinary ground rather than a standalone requirement, and it is easy to miss because it does not use the words most states use. § 509 makes it unprofessional conduct to prescribe or administer a drug or treatment without sufficient examination and the establishment of a valid physician-patient relationship. That is the good-faith-examination rule; it is not titled one.

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, a valid physician-patient relationship may be established by an allopathic or osteopathic physician with a patient located in Oklahoma through telemedicine, provided that the physician holds a license to practice medicine in the state, confirms with the patient the patient's identity and physical location, and provides the patient with the treating physician's identity and professional credentials; telemedicine encounters shall not be used to establish a valid physician-patient relationship for the purpose of prescribing opiates, synthetic opiates, semisynthetic opiates, or benzodiazepines.

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.
