Colorado Telehealth Law Overview
Colorado law defines telemedicine to include store-and-forward transfers and treats its delivery as the practice of medicine (C.R.S. 12-240-104(6) and 12-240-107), and the Colorado Medical Board's Policy 40-03 recognizes a provider-patient relationship whether or not there has been an in-person encounter. A Colorado-licensed physician can evaluate you and prescribe GLP-1 weight-loss medication online without a prior in-person visit.
Key Points
- No in-person visit required before a telehealth evaluation for non-controlled medications like GLP-1s: the provider-patient relationship may be established whether or not there has been an in-person encounter (Board Policy 40-03)
- Colorado defines telemedicine to include store-and-forward transfers, not only live video (C.R.S. 12-240-104(6))
- The practice of medicine occurs where the patient is located, so the physician must hold a Colorado license (C.R.S. 12-240-107; Board Policy 40-27)
- The same standard of care applies as in person, and a prescription based solely on an online questionnaire is not an acceptable standard of care (Board Policy 40-27)
- Board Policy 40-03 has the physician verify your identity and location, disclose their credentials, and obtain your informed consent, including to telehealth care

Frequently Asked Questions
Is online GLP-1 weight-loss treatment legal in Colorado?
Yes.
