All providers involved in telemedicine also need to be aware of procedures and possible problems that may not arise with traditional in-person visits, the panelists said. Providers of telemedicine must be licensed across all states to cope with rising demand for the service and prevent medical malpractice, according to Goldberg , chief underwriting officer at Markel Corp. . Speaking during a panel session on telemedicine at the 2017 Workers Compensation in Alaska , Debra Goldberg was positive about the growth in telemedicine but stressed the requirement to ensure conditions that can be treated remotely are correctly diagnosed and to develop a process that can escalate remote treatments to in-person appointments when necessary.
