The Biden administration wants to limit what drugs can be prescribed through telemedicine appointments, proposing doctors must evaluate patients in person before authorizing some controlled substances.
The Drug Enforcement Administration proposed the rule change in a statement on Friday, seeking to reverse rules that were approved during the COVID-19 pandemic that allowed doctors to prescribe drugs to patients virtually. Now the DEA is seeking to rein back that power, specifically for drugs that can lead to addiction.
Doctors could prescribe other drugs, such as Ambien and Xanax, through telehealth appointments for 30 days — but would require an in-person evaluation if the patient requests a refill.
