(a) Telehealth services may be delivered in a variety
of ways, including, but not limited to:
(1) the store-and-forward model/electronic transmission
which is an asynchronous electronic transmission of stored clinical
data from one location to another;
(2) the clinician interactive model which is a synchronous,
real-time interaction between the provider and client that may occur
via telecommunication links; and
(3) the self-monitoring/testing model which occurs
when the client receiving the services provides data to the provider
without a facilitator present at the site of the client.
(b) A provider shall not provide services by correspondence
only, e.g., mail, email, or facsimile, although these may be used
as adjuncts to telehealth.
