Colorado Telehealth Registration and Your In-State Agent

Colorado added a new door for out-of-state clinicians in 2024. Senate Bill 24-141 created section 12-30-124 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, and on and after January 1, 2026, a provider who holds a license, certificate or registration in another state can treat patients located in Colorado through telehealth after registering with the Colorado regulator for that profession. The registration has a requirement that surprises a lot of applicants: you designate an agent upon whom service of process may be made in Colorado. That's the piece we handle, for $99 a year.

What You Need to Register

Under subsection (3), a regulator can register you when all of these are true:

• You apply on the form the Division of Professions and Occupations prescribes and pay the fee it sets
• Your out-of-state credential is active and unencumbered, issued outside Colorado by a state government, D.C. or a U.S. territory, with education and supervision standards at least equal to Colorado's, and it lets you do the same health care services a Colorado license holder does
• In the five years before you apply, no disciplinary action limited, suspended or revoked that credential (unless it was over something Colorado law permits)
• You pass a jurisprudence exam, if Colorado requires one for the equivalent credential
• You designate your Colorado agent for service of process on the division's form
• You keep the financial responsibility your Colorado regulator requires for services to Colorado patients

The Rules Once You're Registered

Registration lets you treat Colorado patients from where you are. It doesn't let you set up shop here. A registered provider:

• Can't open an office in Colorado or see Colorado patients in person without the full Colorado credential
• Tells each patient where the provider is located and that the provider has no physical location in Colorado
• Can't prescribe controlled substances
• Follows the same practice standards as a Colorado provider seeing the patient in person, including prescribing, documentation, informed consent, confidentiality, privacy and security
• Keeps a written emergency protocol and a current list of hospitals, urgent care and crisis services near the patient
• Reports to the regulator within five business days any restriction on the out-of-state credential, any disciplinary action taken or pending anywhere, and any malpractice judgment, settlement or arbitration award paid on the provider's behalf

Registrations follow Colorado's general renewal, expiration and reinstatement rules for regulated professions.

Why Your Colorado Agent Matters

With no office in the state, the agent you name is the place a Colorado court, regulator or patient's lawyer delivers legal papers. If that address goes stale, the papers still count as delivered, and you can lose time you need to respond.

Colorado Registered Agent.co gives you a Colorado address to put on the division's agent form. Service of process that arrives for you is scanned to your dashboard the same day, and your $99 a year covers that scanning for the full year. Physical forwarding of a paper original is available for a per-shipment charge.

Signing up by yourself, without a company? On the checkout's entity menu, choose "Sole proprietor or trust." Your telehealth registration is personal to you, so the agent service should be opened in your name as an individual.

Running a practice company that also operates in Colorado? That's a separate filing with the Colorado Secretary of State, and we can be the company's registered agent for foreign entities as well.

Common Questions

When did this start?

The statute applies on and after January 1, 2026.

Is there a fee?

Yes. The application carries the fee the division sets under its fee authority. Check the division's current fee schedule for your profession.

Can I just list my home address?

The statute asks for an agent upon whom process may be made in Colorado. If you live in another state, you'll need someone with a Colorado address, which is what we provide.

Does this register my LLC too?

No. Section 12-30-124 registers you as a provider. A company doing business in Colorado files its own Statement of Foreign Entity Authority with the Secretary of State.
