Under TBCE guidelines, when is telehealth allowed for chiropractors?

• A. It is allowed only if performed within TBCE rules and privacy requirements.
• B. It is allowed only during emergencies and with consent.
• C. It is never allowed for chiropractors.
• D. It requires physician co-signature for each session.

Answer: (A)

Telehealth for chiropractors is allowed only when it’s conducted in accordance with the TBCE’s rules and privacy requirements. This means you must follow the board’s telehealth provisions and ensure patient privacy is protected—using secure, approved platforms, obtaining appropriate consent, and maintaining proper documentation and records. As long as the session complies with these rules, telehealth is permissible.

The other options aren’t correct because telehealth isn’t restricted to emergencies or consent-only scenarios, and there’s no general requirement for a physician co-signature for each telehealth session. The key is staying within TBCE guidelines and privacy standards for any telehealth encounter.
