Best telehealth is the visit you would stand behind in an audit.

Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.

Same PDMP rules as office.

Convert to office if video cannot complete risk assessment.

Recording by patient is discussed; we do not consent to social posting.

Backup phone number.

Send prescriptions only to a legitimate pharmacy.

Convert to Hollywood office when a physical exam is needed.

Share after-visit summary through the portal.

Schedule the next visit before disconnecting.

Telehealth is better for stable titration when I-95 is the enemy.

We will send you to the office rather than pretend a camera can do everything.

Hybrid beats pure-video for labs and injections.

Established patients with stable housing and privacy are the best telehealth fit.

Not indicated as covert care in an unsafe household if privacy cannot be obtained — we will problem-solve or use office.

Not a replacement for psychotherapy groups or IOP.

home psych evaluation still has to be a medical visit, not a chat.

Records that never reached your local ER.

ADHD testing that was a 12-item form on a phone.

You have no private room in a Hollywood multigenerational household.
