 4 United States may practice in the state of New York when such physi-
 5 cian's state or other jurisdiction of licensure has entered into a
 6 reciprocal agreement with the state of New York for purposes of permit-
 7 ting such physicians to provide time-limited follow-up care via tele-
 8 health as defined by the reciprocal agreement solely to such physician's
 9 established patient or patients who reside permanently or temporarily
 10 outside of the physician's home state of licensure. Such reciprocal
 11 agreement shall be signed by the commissioner and the equivalent author-
 12 ity in the reciprocal state. A copy of such agreement shall be provided
 13 to the commissioner of health. For purposes of this subdivision "estab-
 14 lished patient" means a patient that the physician has: assumed the
 15 responsibility for making medical judgments regarding the health of the
 16 patient; sufficient knowledge of the patient to initiate at least a
 17 general or preliminary diagnosis of the medical condition of the
 18 patient; and had at least one in-person visit with the patient within
 19 the past year. The physician shall be readily available for follow-up
 20 evaluation and oversight of treatment and outcomes of the patient and
 21 shall maintain such patient's records in accordance with applicable law.
