## Summary

**Authorizes telemedicine delivery of controlled substances to eligible veterans.** It would let qualified VA clinicians, and supervised trainees, deliver, distribute, or dispense certain prescription controlled drugs by telehealth without a prior in-person exam when providers meet state licensure and federal drug-law conditions. The VA Secretary must issue implementing regulations and guidance while preserving all provider obligations under the Controlled Substances Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. - Veterans: Eligible VA patients could receive certain prescription controlled medications by telemedicine, reducing the need for an in-person visit when the prescription has a legitimate medical purpose. - VA clinicians and trainees: VA-employed clinicians with an active, full, and unrestricted state license could prescribe and dispense these drugs by telehealth, and trainees can do so under clinical supervision and Secretary-set qualification rules. - Oversight and limits: The authority is conditioned on compliance with the Controlled Substances Act and related federal drug laws and requires the Secretary to create rules and quality standards for implementation.
