This page provides a clear, detailed guide to how licensed psychiatrists in New York can legally and responsibly prescribe medication through telehealth, ensuring you receive the same standard of care as an in-person visit.

Are Online Psychiatric Prescriptions Legal in New York?

Yes. Licensed psychiatric providers in New York may prescribe medications through telehealth after establishing a legitimate doctor-patient relationship via comprehensive evaluation.

New York telepsychiatry prescribing is governed by:

  • New York State medical practice laws

  • Federal telehealth prescribing rules

  • Permanent Ryan Haight Act telemedicine provisions

  • Controlled substance prescribing regulations

These regulations allow psychiatric medications—including controlled substances when appropriate—to be prescribed via secure video evaluation with licensed providers.

The Ryan Haight Act of 2008 initially restricted the prescribing of controlled substances (like stimulants for ADHD or certain anxiety medications) without an in-person exam. However, during the COVID-19 public health emergency, these restrictions were waived, allowing for virtual prescribing. As of 2024, a permanent federal rule has been finalized that continues to allow the prescribing of controlled substances via telehealth, provided certain conditions are met, often involving an initial video evaluation. Our practice strictly adheres to all New York State and federal regulations to ensure full compliance and your safety.
