Acceptable Specialty: Board Certified Family Practice, Internal Medicine, or ER; would prefer physicians with multiple state licenses but will not turn away single state licenses; Physicians do not need to live/be in the state that consults originate from- but they must be licensed in state of origination.

Company platform is in the cloud and completely HIPAA secure. They use [Register to View] as hosting sites. Providers cannot download any information but they do have to sign a HIPAA BAA. (*I am working on getting a tutorial and visibility on process from start to finish so we inform providers of what to expect)
