Good Faith Exams Explained: Compliance Guide for Med Spas, IV Therapy & Telemedicine

Описание: Understanding Good Faith Exams (GFEs) is essential for any med spa, IV hydration clinic, or wellness practice operating in 2025–2026. In this video, Dr. Christopher Seitz, Chief Medical Officer of GuardianMD, breaks down what a Good Faith Exam really is, who can legally perform one, and how to stay compliant as regulations around telemedicine clearance exams continue to tighten nationwide.

You’ll learn why most state medical and nursing boards don’t recognize the term “GFE,” what they actually require to establish a valid patient-provider relationship, and how to properly document exams using a full SOAP-note standard. We also cover the risks of shortcut models, RN-led exams, standing orders, and third-party “virtual GFE” platforms that disclaim liability — and why these approaches are increasingly flagged by regulators and malpractice insurers.

Whether you run a brick-and-mortar clinic or operate a hybrid telehealth model, this video gives you a practical roadmap for staying audit-ready, legally compliant, and protected going into 2026.
