Federal officials want to require that patients see doctors in person before receiving narcotics.
DEA Administrator Anne Milgram called the plan “telemedicine with guardrails.”
“They completely forgot that there was a population of people who are dying,” said Dr. Lonny Shavelson, a California physician who chairs the American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying, a coalition of doctors who help patients access care under so-called right-to-die laws. The clash between desperate patients who need treatment and DEA’s efforts to bar telehealth companies from overprescribing dangerous medications was inevitable, said David Herzberg, a historian of drugs at the University of Buffalo.Laws in 10 states and Washington, D.C. allow dying people with a prognosis of six months or less to end their lives with a lethal combination of medications covered by the DEA rule.
Telemedicine has been widely used throughout the COVID pandemic, but what's its future after the crisis passes?
