Can chiropractors in Ohio treat patients remotely, via telehealth?

Chiropractors in Ohio can indeed provide remote care through telehealth, but they must adhere to specific regulations that govern this practice. Telehealth allows chiropractors to offer consultations, assess conditions, monitor treatment progress, and provide some level of care virtually. Compliance with regulations ensures that they maintain the standard of care and ethical practices set forth by the Ohio State Chiropractic Board. This includes ensuring patient confidentiality, obtaining informed consent, and using HIPAA-compliant platforms for communication.

The option indicating that telehealth is not permitted does not reflect the current legal framework for chiropractors in Ohio. Similarly, suggesting that telehealth is only allowed for follow-up visits or solely for consultations overlooks the broader scope of care that chiropractors can provide via telehealth, as long as they comply with relevant regulations. Compliance with applicable regulations is essential in facilitating effective and legal telehealth services in chiropractic practice.
