N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 12 § 325-1.8 - Emergency medical aid and telemedicine
(a) In the event of a serious accident
requiring immediate emergency medical aid, an ambulance or any physician may be
called to give first aid treatment.
(b) Telemedicine, using an interactive audio
and video telecommunications system that permits real-time communication
between an authorized medical provider and a claimant in accordance with
guidance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, may be used by
authorized providers where medically appropriate for social distancing purposes
due to the outbreak of COVID-19 to assess current disability status. "Medically
appropriate" includes discussion of test results or imaging, follow-up
assessments, or counseling. It does not include treatment where physical
examination is a necessary component, such as initial visits or assessments,
physical therapy or other types of manual therapy. The authorized provider
shall indicate on their report that such assessment was done using telemedicine
as a result of social distancing due to the outbreak of
COVID-19.
