30 Miss. Code. R. 2901-11.8 - Distant Site Provider
(a) The provider
providing the telehealth service from a site other than the patient's current
location. The distant site provider shall hold an active Mississippi
license.
(b) Limitations of
telehealth. A provider who uses telehealth services, before providing services,
shall give each patient notice regarding telehealth services, including the
risks and benefits of being treated via telehealth, and how to receive
follow-up care or assistance in the event of an adverse reaction to the
treatment or in the event of an inability to communicate as a result of a
technological or equipment failure. A signed and dated notice, including an
electronic acknowledgement by the patient, establishes a presumption of
notice.
(c) Necessity of in-person
evaluation. When, for whatever reason, the telehealth modality in use for a
particular patient encounter is unable to provide all pertinent clinical
information that a healthcare provider exercising ordinary skill and care would
deem reasonably necessary for the practice of optometry at an acceptable level
of safety and quality in the context of that particular encounter, then the
distant site provider shall make this known to the patient and advise and
counsel the patient regarding the need for the patient to obtain an additional
in-person evaluation reasonably able to meet the patient's needs.
