Sleep telemedicine practitioners must ensure their practice complies with all
applicable institutional, state, and federal regulations. Providers must be
licensed in any state in which they provide care, have undergone credentialing
and privileging procedures at outside facilities, and avoid real or perceived
conflicts of interest while providing that care. Internet-based prescribing
remains limited to certain circumstances. Whether or not a malpractice insurance
policy covers telemedicine depends on the insurer, especially if interstate care
is provided. All telemedicine programs must protect patient health information.
Similarly, bioethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and
justice apply to both in-person and telemedicine-based care.
