Check permission for your location
Colorado has a route called telehealth registration for clinicians licensed elsewhere. It began January 1, 2026 and lets those who qualify give remote care without a full Colorado licence.
To use this route, the clinician must meet its conditions, including holding a current, unrestricted licence in another state.
Ask which Colorado licence is being used for your visit, then check the state record. If travel changes your location, tell the service before the appointment.
Under this route, the person treating you must tell you where they are and, if they have no Colorado office, say so. This permission alone does not allow them to open an office or give in-person care here.
This permission has a drug limit
Colorado’s telehealth registration does not permit prescribing controlled drugs. These medicines are on special legal lists; testosterone is one example under federal law. A full Colorado licence is not subject to that registration ban, but other state and federal prescribing rules still apply.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide were absent from the federal controlled-drug lists checked September 26, 2026. That federal check does not establish their status under every state’s law.
Ask the prescriber or pharmacist whether your exact medicine is controlled and which rules apply to this visit.
For peptide care, ask for the medicine’s full name as well as the person’s licence. Ask whom to call with a later question. Ask how a visit in a room would be arranged if needed.
