Bill > SB96

This bill aims to revise certain provisions regarding the use of telehealth technologies. It amends the definitions of "health care professional," "health care facility," "originating site," "store-and-forward technology," and "telehealth" in the state's telehealth laws. It also outlines the requirements for a proper health provider-patient relationship when utilizing telehealth, such as verifying the patient's location, disclosing the health care professional's identity and credentials, obtaining appropriate consent, establishing a diagnosis, and ensuring appropriate follow-up care. The bill provides exceptions to these requirements, such as in on-call or emergency situations.
