Telehealth means getting care while you and the doctor are in different places. The visit might use video, a call or messages.

The short answer A menu choice does not tell the doctor enough to judge your care needs. The Federation of State Medical Boards said this in advice adopted in May 2026. It is a group of the state boards responsible for doctors’ licences. The board group’s prescribing guidance An appointment needs room for your own questions. A form can be part of the exchange As of September 2026, the board group’s advice allows a first visit from a distance if it meets the care standards that apply to the visit. The doctor must get enough information to judge your needs. The medical-board group’s policy The group says a form with only set questions and answer choices cannot, by itself, decide treatment. A form can help when the doctor can follow up your answers with more questions and gather enough information for care. The medical-board group’s policy These are recommendations to state boards, rather than a national law. The binding rules come from the individual state, as of September 2026. The medical-board group’s policy Ask when the visit would move in person Under the board group’s advice, any test or examination needed to judge your problem is the doctor’s responsibility.
