Texas Law Marks Turning Point in Telemedicine

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has signed a bill into law, representing the beginning of a new era of telemedicine access in the Lone Star State.

Over the weekend, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill into law, changing the face of telemedicine in the state.

With Abbott's signature on Senate Bill 1107, physicians can now utilize telemedicine services with patients they haven't met in person. This quashes an earlier requirement that physician-patient relationships had to be established with an in-person visit first.
