The COVID-19 pandemic created a turning point in healthcare in the world and our country. Distant medical applications have become a reality of today’s medical practices, which have been accepted as a crime in our country at present. Hence, telemedicine is an indispensable part of health services and health tourism. It is obvious that this new reality emerging with the epidemic should be evaluated legally. The concept of telemedicine is first explained in this study, and then the last situation in our country is summarized. The legal nature of telemedicine services is discussed in the second part. In this section, the legal interpretation difference of the physician about the examination “in person” and the medical standards of telemedicine applications were evaluated. Further, telemedicine applications and the acceptance of the patient as a consumer with the nature of the contract were examined. Because the patient is accepted as a consumer in our country, it is concluded that telemedicine services are related to distant contracts specific to consumer law. Therefore, distance contracts have been especially evaluated within the scope of telemedicine. As a result, it is mandatory to make the necessary legal arrangements for telemedicine services. However, health services first need to be taken out of the scope of consumer law, as in European Union law.
