Dentovio public answer
Does California dental telehealth require patient consent before the visit?
Telehealth consent is a separate prerequisite, not an after-the-fact cleanup step. The consent should be obtained before the telehealth service begins. Telehealth consent does not replace the broader informed-consent analysis for the treatment itself.
