The new rules allow a psychiatrist practicing telemedicine to prescribe stimulants to a childhood age client only when he is physically inside an authorized by state of Ohio and DEA outpatient clinic or ER, etc. However the way I understand this new rule the same psychiatrist may not be able to refill the same stimulant medication in a 3 months follow up patient that is doing well and just call in to ask for a Ritalin refill. I would appreciate any comments/advice. Do I understand the rule correctly or not? Thanks
