Working from Home and Prescribing

[tristatepac]

So I have decided to start a Telemedicine business from home as a Physician Assistant.  The physician supervision requirements in NY/NJ are currently waived due to COVID-19.  I left my job, and do not currently have a Supervising Physician.

I do not want my patients to have my home address and I have my business address at the UPS store.

So, two of the usual standard questions asked by pharmacies when calling in a Rx are who is you supervising physician and what is your office phone # (sometimes address).  So, the first is easy enough I can tell them I currently do not have one and with the current COVID-19 situation in NJ it is currently not a requirement.  The second question is a little more difficult.  I can give them my cell # as my office phone number but which address?  The UPS store?  WHat if they call there asking for the medical provider?  

So the question is how can I make this work without giving out my home address.  I have young kids and really do not want patients knowing where I live.  I will be working from home and not having the overhead of an office is one thing that is making this possible.  

I thank you in advance for your feedback.

Have you looked into G suite? Affordable and gives you a lot of secured services. 
 

I have been working on something similar In VA - did you get off the ground yet? Would be interested in sharing ideas.

Trista I am curious how you initially began building your clientele base. Telemedicine is growing rapidly what methods of marketing did you use?

So if the NY NJ supervisor physician requirements ho back to pre covid what are you going to do?
