The subject of this article is to discuss the legal regulations regarding telemedicine, which is currently a subsidiary method of providing health services, compared to the traditional model, involving direct contact between the doctor and the patient. These regulations have undergone a significant revolution, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, as evidenced by the presented both current and historical regulations. An attempt will also be made to explain the concept of telemedicine, which, despite the spread of this type of medical services, has not been legally defined on the basis of national regulations and international law. The article will also address the current problem of issuing e-pre¬scriptions against payment for a drug chosen by the patient, even a psychotropic drug, solely on the basis of a short questionnaire or online form completed by the patient. In this regard, the regulations proposed recently by the Ministry of Health, which aim is to limit this phenomenon in practice, will be discussed. In the summary section, de lege ferenda proposals will be formulated regarding the regulation of the current regulations in order to increase; in particular, the level of security of the patient’s personal data and information obtained during telemedicine services as well as the level and quality of services provided and as a result – the health safety of patients.
