[QUOTE="Phil Goodman, post: 249175, member: 42777"] I think people are misunderstanding the proposed changes, though yes I do think they are unnecessary and yet another example of how the goal isn’t really patient care and access to treatment…but rather pushing agendas for certain entities. That being said, as I read it, they won’t require 30 day refills constantly. That is just to give people time to be seen in-person without missing a treatment. Once you have been seen in person you can continue to receive prescriptions as you have all along. And if you can’t be seen in-person then it will count as an in-person visit if the person doing the physical exam is licensed by the DEA and there is audio/video communication between all three parties during the exam. Once that is done then you are considered an “in-person” patient and can receive treatment the same as you have been receiving as a telehealth patient. And record-keeping will get more strict. At least that’s my understanding, but if someone can point out how I’m mis-interpreting it please do so. I’m also not clear on whether both doctors have to agree to the treatment or if one is just there for the purpose of doing the in-person exam. If those are the only issues it will present an added headache for sure but isn’t the end of the world. Or hell I may just drive to FL every two years for an in-person visit and keep going with my treatment(assuming they keep the 24 month maximum in place). But again that’s just my current understanding. And all that said, I certainly plan to submit a comment because it’s sad how eager they are to restrict access to treatment in this country. And it’s only going to get worse because we are heading for a major doctor shortage in the next 10-15 years. We should be doing everything we can to get ahead of that problem and making healthcare EASIER to access, and these assholes are driving us in the wrong direction! [/QUOTE]
