Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to reimbursement rates for health care services provided to covered persons by telehealth, and including retroactive applicability provisions.
AI Summary
This bill amends Iowa law to require health carriers to reimburse health care professionals and facilities for telehealth services provided to covered persons at the same rate as in-person services. It defines key terms like "covered person," "facility," and "telehealth," clarifying that telehealth includes services delivered via audio-video or other electronic media, but excludes audio-only telephone, email, or fax. The bill also applies the reimbursement requirements retroactively to telehealth services provided on or after January 1, 2021.
