Description
Health insurance; mandated coverage for telemedicine services. Requires health insurers, health care subscription plans, and health maintenance organizations to provide coverage for the cost of telemedicine services when the services are appropriately provided through such means. "Telemedicine services" means the use of interactive audio, video, or other telecommunications technology by a health care provider to deliver health care services at a site other than the site where the patient is located, including the use of electronic media for consultation relating to the health care diagnosis or treatment of the patient. Decisions denying coverage of services provided via telemedicine will be subject to utilization review procedures. Read the Bill »
