Miscellaneous Provisions Prescription of drugs without physical examination (Alaska Stat ) (a) The board may not impose disciplinary sanctions on a physician for prescribing, dispensing, or administering a prescription drug to a person without conducting a physical examination if (1) the prescription drug is (A) not a controlled substance; or (B) a controlled substance and is prescribed, dispensed, or administered by a physician when an appropriate licensed health care provider is present with the patient to assist the physician with examination, diagnosis, and treatment; (2) the physician is located in this state and the physician or another licensed health care provider or physician in the physician s group practice is available to provide follow-up care; and (3) the person consents to sending a copy of all records of the encounter to the person s primary care provider if the prescribing physician is not the person s primary care provider, and the physician sends the records to the person s primary care provider. Legislative Alert! H.B. 278, 29th Leg., 2d Reg. Sess. (Alaska 2015) (introduced, January 27, 2016). Section 1. Alaska Stat is amended to read: (a) The board may not impose disciplinary sanctions on a physician for rendering a diagnosis, providing treatment, or prescribing, dispensing, or administering a prescription drug that is not a controlled substance to a person without conducting a physical examination if (1) the physician or another licensed health care provider or physician in the physician s group practice is available to provide follow-up care; and (2) the physician requests that the person consent to sending a copy of all records of the encounter to the person s primary care provider if the prescribing physician is not the person s primary care provider, and, if the patient consents, the physician sends the records to the person s primary care provider.

This type of practice does not require the physician to be located in the State of Alaska, but does require the physician to practice in accordance with all relevant laws and practice standards. 2) The practice of telemedicine authorized under Alaska Statute (AS) (effective November 28, 2014) by a physician prescribing, dispensing, or administering a prescription drug without first conducted an in-person physical examination of the patient, if: n the prescription drug is not a controlled substance; n the physician is located in the State of Alaska and a licensed health care provider is available to provide follow-up care; and n the patient consents to sending, and the physician sends, a copy of the records to the patient s primary care provider. This type of practice does require the physician to be located in the State of Alaska, and does require the physician to practice in accordance with all relevant laws and practice standards, including compliance with n the American Medical Association (AMA) guiding principles for telemedicine practice (adopted June 2014); and n the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) Model Policy for the Appropriate Use of Telemedicine Technologies in the Practice of Medicine (adopted April 2014).
