Virtual visits are a little different, technically you and the physician must be in the same state during the visit. (They will only ask where you are there’s no in-depth tracking used. Obviously they will know if a prescription needs to be sent to out of state pharmacy. ) However if there is a long standing relationship with a patient the doctor my offer the service ie: if your on vacation. (The telesystem was derived to avoid health care conglomerates in one state from capturing patients in distant states) Hope that helps

Actually, the patient can be in a different state. The law is that the provider must be licensed in both states. Meaning the state they are located as well as the state the patient is located. There are also quite a few states that offer limited reciprocity and Compacts that allow a provider to join for telehealth treatment. That's how companies like Hims can prescribe ED and GLP1 meds thru telemedicine.
