The development of information technology has driven the transformation of healthcare services towards a digital-based system, one of which is through telemedicine. The use of telemedicine in Indonesia is increasing because it can expand access to healthcare services, especially for communities facing geographical limitations and the distribution of medical personnel. However, the development of telemedicine has also given rise to various legal issues related to the legality of medical personnel's practice, the use of a Practice Permit (SIP), health data protection, and the division of responsibilities between medical personnel and telemedicine platform providers. This study aims to analyze the legal regulations for telemedicine in Indonesia and examine the forms of legal protection for medical personnel in teleconsultation services through telemedicine applications. The study uses a normative juridical method with a statutory and conceptual approach. The legal materials used consist of primary legal materials in the form of laws and regulations and secondary legal materials in the form of books, scientific journals, and relevant legal doctrines. The analysis is conducted qualitatively through the interpretation and synchronization of legal norms related to telemedicine. The research results show that telemedicine has obtained a legal basis through Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law. However, there remains unclear regulations regarding the use of SIP in teleconsultation services, the jurisdictional boundaries of digital practices, and the division of legal responsibilities between medical personnel and telemedicine platforms. Therefore, strengthening and harmonizing regulations are needed to provide legal certainty and more effective protection for medical personnel in the provision of teleconsultation services based on telemedicine applications.
