Keep the date beside the rule
Board policies explain how a board views care. They are guidance, rather than laws passed by the state.
A docket check on November 3, 2026 confirmed adoption on October 1, 2026. The changes await their scheduled start, November 30, 2026.
For the rules in force at your visit, ask the relevant board. For a decision about your own treatment, take the question to your clinician.

Who may practise
As of September 26, 2026, Colorado’s shared search includes licence records for doctors, nurses, pharmacists and pharmacies.

Remote care across state lines
As of September 26, 2026, health professionals licensed in other states can register to give online care in Colorado if they meet the state’s rules.
Holding only this registration gives no permission for an office or for in-person treatment in Colorado. It also does not allow controlled-drug prescriptions.
Ask the board to confirm a claimed online-care registration. This guide has not confirmed an actual person’s registration in the state search.
If you cannot find the registration, ask the board to check it before relying on the claim.
