Missouri NP Telehealth Regulations?

Published

A few questions about practicing as a NP in Missouri utilizing telecommunication, if anyone happens to know.

As a NP, is it possible to work exclusively from home treating patients at their own residence using telehealth? If so, does it matter where you reside in terms of proximity to your collaborating physician (assuming they are readily accessible via telecommunication)? And could your patients reside anywhere in the state?

If current regulations permit this arrangement, where does a NP start in terms of establishing their own telehealth practice? I assume the first steps would be secure a collaborating physician, find HIPAA compliant EMR/telemedicine software, determine payment sources, familiarize with telehealth coding/billing.. then start seeing patients? Are there any other major differences between establishing a telehealth practice vs an in-person practice as an NP?

Greatly appreciative of any advice or insight on this topic!
