Bill > HF1411

This bill expands the use of telehealth in Minnesota by amending existing statutes. The key changes are: 1. The term "telemedicine" is replaced with "telehealth" throughout the relevant statutes, with a definition of telehealth that includes the delivery of healthcare services or consultations through electronic communications, information technology, store-and-forward technology, or synchronous or asynchronous interaction between a provider and patient at different locations. 2. The bill clarifies the requirements for out-of-state physicians to provide interstate telehealth services to patients in Minnesota, including the need to register with the state medical board and be subject to Minnesota laws and regulations. 3. The bill provides exemptions from the registration requirement for out-of-state physicians providing telehealth services in limited circumstances, such as for emergency medical conditions or on an irregular/infrequent basis. Overall, the bill aims to expand access to healthcare services through the use of telehealth technologies, while also establishing appropriate oversight and regulations for out-of-state providers offering these services to Minnesotans.
