Are telemedicine providers required to pay the assessment?

Generally, yes. The Virginia Board of Medicine guidance states “The practice of medicine occurs where the patient is located at the time telemedicine services are used…” A physician who treats a patient located in Virginia by telemedicine is considered to be practicing medicine in Virginia, not in the state where the physician or their office is located. The $300 annual assessment applies to physicians providing telemedicine services to patients in Virginia.
