eLicense Ohio is the state’s free search for current licences. For people licensed by the medical board, it also shows any record of Ohio action against their licence. Have the full name and role beside you when you open it.
Read what an Ohio visit requires
- Read Ohio’s telehealth assessment rule
- Read Ohio’s law on online visits and fees
- Read the out-of-state compounding rule
Open the telehealth rule to read what the person treating you must check and how follow-up care works. Telehealth means care by call or online. Open the state law to read which kinds of calls and online visits are allowed, and which extra fees are barred. As of September 2026, Ohio holds online care to the standard required for an in-person visit. Before prescribing, the person treating you must check your health, identify the problem, and make a plan. They must record why the medicine is needed and what could make it unsafe for you.

Ohio’s medical board takes complaints about doctors and physician assistants; its nursing board takes complaints about nurses. A physician assistant provides care under a doctor’s supervision. Ohio’s pharmacy board takes complaints about pharmacies and medicines at licensed clinics.
The Ohio Attorney General accepts consumer complaints about misleading ads and billing. The office treats what you submit as public information and may pass it to the business involved. Patients can also report medicine problems to the FDA through MedWatch.
