Requirements for the good-faith examination before treatment. Below are the Oklahoma rules that govern it, each linked to its primary source. Monitoring and reference, not legal advice.
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.
Prescribing or administering a drug or treatment without sufficient examination and the establishment of a valid physician- patient relationship;
Okla. Stat. tit. 59, § 509 (Examination and a valid relationship before prescribing) · verified Sep 5, 2026
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.
