• understand that prescribing medications via telemedicine, as is the case during in-person care, is at the professional discretion of the physician.

• agree that the Telehealth Provider determines, in conjunction with applicable laws, whether or not the condition being diagnosed and/or treated is appropriate for a telemedicine encounter.
