Can a California telehealth dental platform require patients to waive complaints to the Dental Board?
A telehealth provider may not require a patient to waive the ability to complain to the Dental Board. This is a California-specific trap that often appears inside online-platform fact patterns. If the service agreement tries to silence Board complaints, the safer answer is that the provision is not allowed.
