I am by no means an expert, but medical law is governed by civil law, which means that illegality is governed by past cases, not like criminal law where things are mostly ironed out by existing laws. When venturing into new territory like telemedicine and gray areas, whether something is legal or not is more like "don't get in trouble and it wont become illegal", but yes, run it by an attorney. I would also be interested in what they say. I wonder if anyone in CA has been sued yet for doing a initial eval for suboxone through telemed. But if that becomes the norm, it's only a matter of time before someone has some freak accident with some weird combination, then the patient sues, and it becomes illegal, and you don't want to be that first guy.
