N.M. Code R. § 16.10.2.11 - TELEMEDICINE LICENSE
A.
Prerequisites for licensure: Each applicant for a telemedicine
license must be of good moral character and hold a full and unrestricted
license to practice medicine in another state or territory of the United
States.
B.
Required
documentation: Each applicant for a telemedicine license must submit the
required fees as specified in
16.10.9.8 NMAC and the
documentation required by
16.10.2.10 NMAC for an expedited
license. An applicant for a telemedicine license shall be subject to the same
provisions as an applicant seeking an expedited license.
(1) A completed signed application, with a
passport quality photo taken within six months. Applications are valid for one
year from the date of receipt.
(2)
Verification of licensure in all states where the applicant holds or has held a
license to practice medicine, or other health care profession. Verification
must be received directly from the other state(s) board, and must attest to the
status, issue date, license number, and other information requested and
contained on the form.
(3)
Applicants who have had previous disciplinary or other action against them may
be required to meet with the entire board. The board may, in its discretion,
issue a license to practice medicine across state lines if it finds that the
previous disciplinary or other action does not indicate that the physician is a
potential threat to the public.
C.
Licensure process: Upon
receipt of a completed application, including all required documentation and
fees, board staff will request and review an AMA physician profile and FSMB
board action databank search. When the application is complete, a member or
agent of the board will review and may approve the application. A personal
interview is not required unless there is a discrepancy in the application that
cannot be resolved.
D.
Initial license expiration: Telemedicine licenses shall be renewed
on July 1 following the date of issue. Initial licenses are valid for a period
of not more than thirteen months or less than one month.
E.
Exemption from licensure
requirements are defined in Section
61-6-17 NMSA of the Medical
Practice Act and include a physician licensed to practice under the laws of
another state who acts as a consultant to a New Mexico licensed physician on an
irregular or infrequent basis not to exceed ten patients per year.
