Insurance, Health, Accident - As enacted, removes from the definition of "provider-based telemedicine" the requirement that the healthcare service provider or the provider's practice group or healthcare system have an established provider-patient relationship that is documented by an in-person encounter within 16 months prior to the interactive visit; makes related changes. - Amends TCA Section 56-7-1003.

This bill removes a specific requirement from Tennessee's telemedicine laws that previously mandated an in-person meeting within 16 months before a virtual visit could be considered part of an established doctor-patient relationship. By deleting this rule, the legislation allows healthcare providers to offer telemedicine services to patients without first requiring a face-to-face appointment, thereby expanding access to remote care. The change directly affects doctors, clinics, and patients by simplifying the rules for conducting virtual medical consultations.
