S.C. Code Ann. § 40-15-520: Patient with relationship required before providing services.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, a licensee must establish a bona fide relationship with a patient before providing services to a patient through teledentistry. A bona fide relationship between a patient and a licensee shall only exist if the licensee has:

(1) reviewed the patient's relevant history, medical records, diagnostic records, and, if treatment is for the correction of a malposition of teeth, the patient's current radiographic records;

(2) performed an appropriate, in-person, physical examination of the patient for the purpose of diagnosing, assessing, developing a treatment plan, or determining the patient's current medical or dental condition; and

(3) a reasonable expectation that the licensee will provide in-person follow-up care and treatment to the patient on a regular basis.
