Upon consideration of the Settlement Agreement, the documents submitted in support thereof, the arguments of the parties, and being otherwise full advised in the premises, the Board rejected the Settlement Agreement and offered a Counter Settlement Agreement which was accepted on the record by the parties. The Counter Settlement Agreement incorporates the original Settlement Agreement with the following amendments:

2. The requirement for community service set forth in Paragraph 7 of the Stipulated Disposition shall be deleted.

3. The requirement for the continuing medical education (CME) in Paragraph 8 of the Stipulated Disposition shall be deleted.

4. Respondent's license is permanently restricted as follows: Respondent is prohibited from engaging in telemedicine to treat citizens of the United States.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Settlement Agreement as submitted be and is hereby approved and adopted in toto and incorporated by reference with the amendments set forth above. Accordingly, the parties shall adhere to and abide by all the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement as amended.

This Final Order shall take effect upon being filed with the Clerk of the Department of Health.
