Dr. Teja Surapaneni holds an active Washington medical license and Washington DEA registration, and currently practices as a hospitalist in Washington with Sound Physicians alongside his telehealth work. Washington patients get a physician who is still actively practicing acute hospital medicine — not just a remote prescriber.
Any Washington resident can be treated via telehealth. Common patient locations include Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Bellevue, Kent, Everett, Renton, Federal Way, Spokane Valley, Yakima, Kirkland, Bellingham, Kennewick, Auburn, Pasco, Marysville, Lakewood, Redmond, Shoreline, Richland, Olympia, and Sammamish.
YourMD's telehealth practice complies with RCW 70.41.020 and Washington Medical Commission policies on telehealth practice. An established patient-physician relationship via live video consultation meets Washington state requirements for non-controlled prescribing. YourMD does not prescribe controlled substances.
