Can the pre-treatment exam be done by telehealth in Wyoming?

Intake · part of The Practice Perimeter

Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — Wyoming defines telemedicine as practicing medicine electronically to a patient in another location and lets boards adopt telehealth rules, but set no in-person requirement for a pre-treatment exam.

"Telemedicine" means the practice of medicine by electronic communication or other means from a physician in a location to a patient in another location, with or without an intervening health care provider.
