Requires in-person doctor visits and local licenses for abortion medication prescriptions.
This bill would require patients to have an in-person visit with a doctor licensed in their state to get abortion medication like mifepristone. Doctors who don't follow these new rules could lose their ability to prescribe such drugs for at least two years. This would end the current practice of some doctors prescribing these medications remotely.
Currently, doctors certified to prescribe mifepristone can do so without an in-person visit, and they are not explicitly required to be licensed in the patient's state for telehealth prescriptions. If this bill becomes law, doctors would be prohibited from prescribing mifepristone or other abortion drugs without an in-person visit and without a medical license in the patient's state. Doctors who violate these rules would lose their special prescribing certification for at least two years.
