Frequently Asked Questions

Good faith exams, also known as pre-authorization exams or clearance exams, are exams that are conducted by an advanced practitioner before a medical procedure is performed. The purpose of these exams is to ensure that the procedure is medically necessary and that it is the best option for the patient.
These exams are an important part of some medical protocols because they help prevent fraud and abuse of the healthcare system. Many states require these exams to be completed before a patient receives certain treatments or procedures.

All Good Faith Exams through GuardianMD are conducted via telehealth. Our providers use a secure video platform to speak directly with both the patient and clinic staff, ensuring a personal, compliant, and efficient evaluation process that meets all regulatory standards. 

Absolutely. GuardianMD’s platform is built and maintained to meet all HIPAA and HITECH requirements. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with secure user authentication, audit trails, and controlled access for every clinician and clinic partner. 

Each Good Faith Exam (GFE) conducted through GuardianMD includes a prescriptive order to ensure compliance with state medical board and CPOM (Corporate Practice of Medicine) requirements. All Telehealth providers operate under the same medical practice as the clinic’s designated Medical Director / Collaborating Physician(s), maintaining consistent oversight, supervision, and alignment with clinic protocols.  

Onboarding includes platform training, compliance walkthroughs, provider credentialing, EMR setup, and clinic assignment. We also provide GFE and telemedicine templates, standardized consent forms, and physician pairing to help your clinic launch smoothly and operate within regulatory standards.

GuardianMD currently operates in all U.S. states and is continuously expanding. Some states with restrictive telehealth laws may have modified service options. Our team verifies each provider’s licensure and practice eligibility before activation. 

Each provider is issued their own secure login to maintain HIPAA compliance and audit accuracy. However, multi-user access within a single clinic dashboard allows team members (e.g., nurses, managers, or admins) to view and manage patient flow under proper permissions.

Ongoing compliance support includes protocol reviews, documentation audits, policy updates, and training refreshers. GuardianMD’s support and clinical teams are always available to answer questions and help maintain alignment with current regulations. 

GuardianMD is EMR agnostic, meaning our platform works alongside any clinic system. You’ll receive your telemed clearance results and documentation directly within the GuardianMD platform, which can then be easily exported or uploaded into your existing EMR or billing software for seamless recordkeeping and compliance.  

Once your compliance checklist is complete and you are onboarded on the platform with signed protocols and an assigned physician, you may immediately begin Telehealth exams with your provided clinic link.
