Now, I have a few questions here: Is this some new part of state or federal guidlines we haven't been enlightened with? Is making such an absurd request (especially the part about my exact physical location) even legal? What are they gonna do, send tracker to verify I am where I say I am? What if I tell them I'm there and I'm sitting at home in my underwear? Could there be any ramifications if I think they're blowing smoke up my ass and decide to sleep in? Are they using Stingray or some GPS app to triangulate my cell signal? Could they ding my insurance with a missed appointment fee over a PHONE CALL in the wrong place? Thoughts.............

Maybe you can build a stage backdrop with a Georgia street address.

I was just thinking of that “Simon Says” analogy minutes ago. Future generations will be playing “Dr. Fauci Says”.

I wouldn’t know - I’m avoiding any medical facility as much as possible until the ‘rona has petered out.

Probably related to your Medicare policy.

Every year I have a Medicare checkup. They always ask the same questions, to determine if I am cognizant, and if I am depressed. It is a complete waste of time, and I have told them that I have the testing routine memorized and well know how to cheat. I was ok with going in since I am retired, and my doctor gets paid, but wow, what a waste!

Yes they are tracking via cell, car and cameras

I have had clinical depression in the past lasting a few years. It is an awful disease and causes many issues. I know a one page questionnaire would not be sufficient to diagnose my depression.

Sounds like they have had an issue with insurance denying people near the state line.

The wo0nders of government healthcare!
I assume you checked that they have a form 27B/6?
They can’t do anything without a Form 27B/6...

I don't really see what this has to do with covid, other than possibly not going in to the office for the follow-up. A couple several decades ago my stepdaughter had more or less the same issue with her remote pacemaker checks, regarding being in the same state as the medical practice.

The doctor is not licensed in Alabama. He can’t practice medicine, even tele-medicine, across state lines. He has to have reasonable evidence that he only conducts business in his state.
We have the same issues with some of our patients who live outside of our state.

Medical license issue
There are geolocators that apps can use to make sure you are in the right state but sounds like they dont use it.

Corsi has a telehealth business that Zelenko is consulting on.
I guess he has Drs that are licensed in multiple states. Not really sure what he is doing.

Maybe the Dr is not licensed to practice medicine in Alabama?
Go to GA & buy a burner phone?

The request to verify your address during your telemedicine session is likely to ensure you are in the state where they are licensed to practice.
Crossing state boundaries via telemedicine initially and generally requires holding a license in each state where services are provided. Some states have joined telemedicine practice agreements.

This scenario is going in at my wife’s hospital where the hospital wants the staff to be licensed in the neighboring state so staff can call patients across state lines. Most states are in a compact where this isn’t necessary but Oregon isn’t one of them.
None of the staff want to do this.
