H. R. 5483(controlled substance via telemedicine).........

or
"special registration of 2018 may be issued to a practitioner to engage in the practice of telemedicine, and for other purposes."
Why is so important:
"The special registration is one of seven exceptions to the Ryan Haight Act’s in-person exam requirement."
Here is the meat on the bone:

"Practitioners who apply for and obtain the special registration are allowed to use telemedicine to prescribe controlled substances without an in-person exam under federal law."
