The Protecting Veteran Access to Telemedicine Services Act of 2025 allows certain VA health care professionals to prescribe controlled substances via telemedicine without an in-person examination. • This change could improve access to necessary medications for veterans in the district who may have difficulty attending in-person appointments. • Local health care providers may need to adapt their practices to accommodate this new telemedicine framework for prescribing controlled substances. • There may be questions about how to ensure the legitimacy of remote prescriptions and the potential for misuse of controlled substances.
