Wyoming requires out-of-state physicians to make periodic in-person visits to continue telehealth

Wyoming requires out-of-state physicians to have established care through an in-person encounter, and after six months of telehealth an in-person visit must occur in a jurisdiction where the physician is licensed before telehealth can resume for another six months; new controlled-substance prescriptions also require an established relationship. This periodic in-person requirement is a barrier for patients receiving ongoing telehealth from out-of-state clinicians, forcing travel to maintain care, particularly affecting rural patients relying on remote specialists.
