(i) There is a demonstrated need for the utilization;
(ii) Adequate provision for timely communication between the primary or alternate physician and the licensee exists;
(iii) The responsible sponsoring or supervising physician spends at least ten percent of the practice time of the licensee in the remote site unless the sponsoring physician demonstrates that adequate supervision is being maintained by an alternate method such as telecommunication.
