As used in ORS 677.135 to 677.141, “the practice of medicine across state lines” means:
(1) The rendering directly to a person of a written or otherwise documented medical opinion concerning the diagnosis or treatment of that person located within this state for the purpose of patient care by a physician located outside this state as a result of the transmission of individual patient data by electronic or other means from within this state to that physician or the physician’s agent; or
(2) The rendering of medical treatment directly to a person located within this state by a physician located outside this state as a result of the outward transmission of individual patient data by electronic or other means from within this state to that physician or the physician’s agent. [1999 c.549 §2]
Note: 677.135 to 677.141 were added to and made a part of ORS chapter 677 by legislative action but were not added to any smaller series therein. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
