Telehealth assisted suicide program extended through 2024
The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has extended temporary rules allowing controlled medications to be prescribed through telehealth — allowing people to access assisted suicide without seeing a doctor in person.
CNN reported on the new development earlier this month. “The DEA and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration announced May 9 that the temporary rules would be extended through November 11, while the DEA and HHS considered the public comments and any revisions to the proposals — buying more time for telehealth patients who might have otherwise experienced a disruption in care,” the article explained. “Now, after holding two days of public listening sessions on the rules in September, the DEA and HHS have further extended the flexibilities through December 31, 2024.”
