Sec. 20-613a. Requests for controlled substance issued on results of answers
to electronic questionnaire. Regulations. In the absence of a documented patient evaluation that includes a physical examination, any request for a controlled substance issued
solely on the results of answers to an electronic questionnaire shall be considered to be
issued outside the context of a valid practitioner-patient relationship and not be a valid
prescription. The Commissioner of Consumer Protection may adopt regulations, in accordance with chapter 54, concerning such requests for controlled substances. For the
purposes of this section, "electronic questionnaire" means any form in an electronic
format that may require personal, financial or medical information from a consumer or
patient.
