If a section of the Kentucky Revised Statutes uses the phrase “individual, private setting” to describe the conditions under which informed consent must be given to a medical procedure, then the informed consent offered in accordance with that section shall be considered valid only if a physician or a licensed nurse, physician assistant, or social worker to whom the responsibility has been delegated by the physician has a face-to-face meeting with the patient and both parties are physically located in the same room or are participating in real-time visual telehealth services initiated by the physician or by the patient.
