AI Summary
This bill expands the use of telehealth, which is the delivery of healthcare services or consultations using electronic communications, information technology, or synchronous/asynchronous interaction between a provider at a distant site and a patient at an originating site. The bill changes the terminology from "telemedicine" to "telehealth" in relevant statutes, and it provides exemptions from registration requirements for certain out-of-state physicians providing telehealth services in Minnesota, such as in emergency situations or on an irregular/infrequent basis. The bill also clarifies that telehealth does not include non-HIPAA compliant email or fax communications.
