Training for Telehealth Practice:

To practice telehealth as an NP, additional training and certifications might be required, depending on your state and chosen platform. This typically involves courses on telehealth practices, technology use, and legal and ethical considerations. OpenTelemed can guide you through these requirements and ensure you meet all necessary training standards.

Legally Collaborating with Physicians or Organizations:

Collaboration with physicians or organizations for telehealth practice can be structured in various ways, depending on your state’s regulations and your comfort level. OpenTelemed can help you navigate these options and establish a legally compliant practice model.

Independent and Supervised Services:

The scope of practice for NPs varies by state. In many states, NPs can independently perform numerous tasks like managing chronic conditions, prescribing medications, and ordering tests. However, certain procedures or complex cases might require consultation or supervision from a physician. OpenTelemed will ensure you understand your specific state’s regulations and practice within your authorized scope.
