Potentially, yes. Florida permits telehealth patient evaluation, synchronous and asynchronous. But “remote” does not mean automatic — the treating clinician must determine that the available patient-specific information is sufficient for the medical decision being made. The purpose is patient safety, not simply to “clear” the patient.

What is the purpose of the pre-treatment evaluation?
The evaluation determines whether treatment is appropriate for that patient, identifies contraindications or risk factors that may require modification, delay, or additional evaluation, and establishes the patient-specific plan or order — not a rubber stamp.
What does asynchronous evaluation actually mean?
The clinician reviews the patient’s submitted medical information before treatment; they don’t have to be live on video at the same time. But asynchronous does not mean automatic approval, chatbot approval, or questionnaire-only prescribing without clinician review. Insufficient or concerning information should be escalated to a synchronous or in-person visit.
Should remote evaluation stay tied to a brick-and-mortar clinic?
For MFMD clients, remote evaluation stays integrated with a brick-and-mortar clinic that has a physical location, known staff, defined escalation, patient access, and physician governance.
Owner takeaway
The question isn’t “can we do this by form?” It’s “does the clinician have enough patient-specific information to decide safely?” Build the workflow around that.
