Telemedicine Licensing

Teleradiology  Medical Licensing

Our experience is unmatched in the field of Teleradiology and Telemedicine. Radiologist, Consulting Physicians, and Locum Tenens Specialist have utilized our services to obtain licenses in all 50 States. It is not uncommon for MedLicense.com to provide nationwide licensure services to Teleradiologist setting up Teleradiology practices to service all 50 States. Unfortunately there is not a National Teleradiology License. Most States require that the physician have a license in each State where the patients/physical care is being given. Some States are now offering special Telemedicine Licenses and Teleradiology Licenses.  Telemedicine and Teleradiology is a new field which the Medical Boards are now addressing.  This combined with the governmental and legal liability of treating patients whom are not physically present in your State has opened the door for considerable problems if a Board Complaint or Malpractice Suit is filed against the Physician. 

Physician's practicing Telemedicine and Teleradiology need to protect themselves by obtaining a Full Medical License or Telemedicine License / Teleradiology license in each State where they will be accepting Telemedicine Patients and Teleradiology Contracts. The cost is minimal compared to the risk of not being licensed. MedLicense.com is experienced and capable to handling this scale of licensure. MedLicense.com can make an impossible process manageable and feasible. MedLicense.com is experienced in licensing physicians in multiple States at once.

Start the Teleradiology Licensure Process
 

How licensure affects Teleradiology

Advances in technology have opened new doors of opportunity for many medically underserved communities in America. Because of relatively inferior rural access to specialty health care providers, citizens in these communities must often travel great distances to receive care, or forego medical treatment until it becomes urgent. Telemedicine technology increases physicians' capacity to serve these citizens and improves their access to health care. Yet, when medically underserved patients and physicians are located in separate states the issue of practitioner licensure arises. Licensure laws that regulate interstate telemedicine practice vary from state to state.

Categories of Teleradiology Licensure

Restrictive licensure

Restrictive licensure laws require a practitioner to obtain a full license to deliver telemedicine care across state lines. Typically, states with restrictive licensure laws also have several exceptions (varying from state to state) that may release an out-of-state practitioner from the additional burden of obtaining such a license.

A number of States require practitioners who seek compensation to frequently deliver interstate care to acquire a full license. If a practitioner serves several states, obtaining this license in each state could be an expensive and time-consuming proposition. Even if the practitioner never practices medicine face-to-face with a patient in another state, he/she still must meet a variety of other individual state requirements, including paying substantial licensure fees, passing additional oral and written examinations, and traveling for interviews.

Sub (6) requires that the doctor of medicine be licensed in another state or territory (this means a US territory such as the Virgin Islands), so that excludes radiologists or pathologists residing and practicing in another country. The board advises that hospitals contracting with out-of-state providers require that, in addition to holding a valid US license, the utilized providers be board-certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
